Student Action has 4 projects that support homeless people, or those on the edge of homelessness, in and around Manchester. Our projects form part of the Coalition of Relief, which is a group of organisations that have come together to help combat the problems that homeless people face in Manchester.
Stockport Food Project: aims to provide a hot, healthy meal for residents at a men's homeless shelter. We aim to provide this meal once a week and provide social interaction as we eat and cook together in the communal kitchen. To get involved email Project Leaders Yuki on stockporthomelessfoodproject@gmail.com
Strathclyde Shelter Project: focuses on connecting with women and children staying in the shelter through entertaining and creative activities. It is a way to provide support to those people during a difficult time in their life. To get involved look them up on the Volunteer Hub or email Project Leader Andy on Thestrathclydeproject@gmail.com
Outreach Project: aims to go out in Manchester city centre, usually in pairs (a project leader and volunteer). We provide hot drinks, signposting (to services such as shelters, access to hot meals and housing advice) and company to the homeless people of Manchester. To get involved, look us up on the Volunteer Hub or email Project Leaders Adalberto and Madeline on homeless.outreach2@outlook.com
Once A Month Project: This project aims to support vulnerable people across Manchester by providing charities with sanitary products and hygiene items. We aim to ensure that the packing sessions are fun and relaxing, enabling volunteers to meet like-minded people whilst also contributing to the local community. To get involved with Once A Month, look them up on Facebook or the Volunteer Hub or email Project Leaders Hannah, Salma and Daniela on onceamonth.sa@gmail.com
Once a Month is an initiative that tackles period poverty in Manchester, so being a volunteer gives you the opportunity to attend packing sessions and help pack bags with hygiene and period products that will be donated to diverse charities in Manchester.
IMPORTANT: This is NOT to sign up for the packing session. This is to log your volunteer hours after you attend a packing session. Please find our project on the SU website and register your interest with us so that we can let you know when we have packing sessions.
