Governance volunteer roles
We believe that homelessness has no place here in Greater Manchester, and to make that vision a reality, we bring people, businesses and communities together to pioneer new ideas, invest in promising practice, and amplify what works.
We’re proud of our journey since we launched in 2018. As a founding funder and continued supporter of the pioneering A Bed Every Night, we have seen this scheme contribute to a 43% reduction in rough sleeping since it’s inception.
Alongside our work with ABEN, we have provided over £1 million worth of grants to charities across the region working to support people and stop homelessness before it becomes a reality.
The Charity is at a new stage of development, expanding our profile, advocacy, fundraising and grant-making to ensure we can deliver lasting change for the people of Greater Manchester, and exploring our role in driving corporate and philanthropic giving to help power the Live Well Movement.
To support us in that work, we’re proud to be launching our Associate Board programme alongside recruitment direct to the Board of Trustees. This new scheme is an exciting oppportunity for a young person in the region to develop their skills and profile while gaining Board-level experience.
We want to make great things happen, and we know we can do that with great people. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
