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
Hi Everyone,
We would like to tell you about this role as a volunteer at the Stockport Food Project.
The aim is to cook a hot and healthy meal for the residents of the shelter, as well as providing a social interaction as we cook and eat together in the communal kitchen.
This takes place on Wednesdays, however volunteers have the option to come weekly, or every other week.
We aim to leave around 3 and get to the shelter at 4. Depending on recipes, we will spend 1-3 hours cooking, and then we will clean up before we leave.
If this sounds like an opportunity you would like to take part in, then please get in touch.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Yasmin and Yuki
