• Has experience in PPIE, health research, healthcare or the charity sector
• Is an excellent facilitator and communicator
• Brings empathy, professionalism and initiative

As one of the founding funders of A Bed Every Night, we have been at the forefront of efforts to reduce rough sleeping in the city region. The funds we have raised have gone to frontline services offering a warm welcome, hot food, safe shelter and wrap-around support to help move people into more stable accommodation. However, our support for the homelessness ecosystem extends beyond A Bed Every Night, as we also provide funding for initiatives, organisations and projects that can help stop homelessness before it becomes a reality, and ensure it is only ever rare, brief and non-recurrent.

Working with businesses, people and communities across Greater Manchester, we raise funds to deliver grants across three priority areas:

1. Emergency Response

2. Places and Spaces

3. Prevention

2026 is an exciting year for the Charity as we embark on the next phase of our growth and look to appoint a new Communications & Campaigns Manager to help us drive this forward.
