    You cannot fail to notice the increase of visible homelessness on the streets of every major city in the UK.

    Here in Manchester, we have had a dramatic increase in numbers, the likes that have never been seen before and it is increasing every day.

    Each evening we operate an out of hours drop-in service in the heart of Manchester city centre. We offer support, hot food, food parcels, showers and medical support alongside mental health crisis intervention.

    You cannot fail to notice the increase of visible homelessness on the streets of every major city in the UK.

    Here in Manchester, we have had a dramatic increase in numbers, the likes that have never been seen before and it is increasing every day.

    Each evening we operate an out of hours drop-in service in the heart of Manchester city centre. We offer support, hot food, food parcels, showers and medical support alongside mental health crisis intervention.

    We see new people who have recently become homeless, sometimes it is their first night on the street and we aim to stop them having to spend that first night outdoors. This takes a lot of intervention from our staff and volunteers, funding to gain access to accommodation and then continued support for that person to keep them from becoming street homeless.

    ​These new individuals are only a small part of the issues we face each night, our numbers are increasing day by day...Currently, we serve 80+ guests each evening with hot food, showers, support services, mental health crisis support, medical assistance, advice and lots of cups of coffee.

    New Bridge has provided a unique befriending service to prisoners for sixty years.

    Volunteers provide emotional support for prisoners who are isolated and lack the support of family or friends. The role of the New Bridge volunteer becomes all the more crucial given the fact that research shows maintaining ties with family and friends is important for ensuring successful resettlement and that the risk of reoffending is higher for prisoners who do not receive visits.

    Volunteers help to instil the confidence needed for making positive life changes; encourage prisoners to engage positively in prison regimes and provide a bridge between the prison and reintegration into the community.
