    We support families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford, who struggle to make ends meet. We offer help with the practical things that can make a big difference to everyday life.

    In 2018, we have been able to help 3,199 children have a smart start to the beginning of the new school year by providing uniform and other school essentials.

  • Books Are GRRReat!

    Book Clubs

    We run Book Clubs in the school holidays to provide thousands of free books for children, to encourage an enjoyment of reading and improve literacy.

  • Heritage

    In 2019 we will be celebrating our 150th anniversary. We have a long and varied history but our focus has always been to support those living in poverty.

Today is #WinnieThePoohDay and most of us have glorious memories reading about the adventures of Pooh when we were children. On the anniversary of his birth, AA Milne continues to delight with his wonderful tales of furry friends getting up to all kinds of mischief. Classic fun.
