About Lifeshare
Lifeshare: Adapting to the Needs of the City
Lifeshare is a non-profit organization that has been helping homeless and vulnerable people across Greater Manchester for over 30 years. The organization was founded in 1984 by a group of volunteers who wanted to make a difference in their community. Since then, Lifeshare has grown into one of the most respected charities in the region, providing essential support and services to those who need it most.
At Lifeshare, we understand that homelessness is not just about having a roof over your head. It's about feeling safe, secure, and supported. That's why we offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of our clients at every stage of their journey.
Our outreach team works tirelessly on the streets of Manchester, building relationships with those who are sleeping rough or living in temporary accommodation. We provide food, clothing, and other essentials to help people survive on the streets while also offering advice and support on issues such as housing, health care, and addiction.
For those who are ready to take the next step towards independence, we offer a range of accommodation options through our Housing First program. This innovative approach provides individuals with their own self-contained flat or house along with intensive support from our team to help them maintain their tenancy and rebuild their lives.
We also run an employment program that helps people gain new skills and find work opportunities. Our training courses cover everything from basic literacy and numeracy skills through to vocational qualifications such as construction trades or catering.
In addition to these core services, Lifeshare also offers specialist support for women experiencing homelessness or domestic abuse through our Women's Project. We recognize that women often face unique challenges when it comes to accessing services or finding safe accommodation which is why we have dedicated staff members trained specifically in this area.
At Lifeshare we believe that everyone deserves access to basic human rights such as shelter, food, and healthcare. We are committed to working with our clients to help them achieve their goals and rebuild their lives. Our approach is based on respect, dignity, and compassion for all those we serve.
We rely on the generosity of our supporters to fund our work. Whether it's through donations of money or time, every contribution makes a difference in the lives of those we support.

Our commitment to providing essential support services that meet the needs of our clients at every stage of their journey has earned us a reputation as one of the most respected charities in the region. We are proud to be part of a community that cares about its most vulnerable members and we will continue to adapt and evolve as needed so that we can continue making a positive impact for many years to come.
