The Booth Centre turns 25

In May 1995 the Booth Centre started in one room in Manchester Cathedral, with the same values that we have today to work with people to rebuild their lives. Over 25 years this holistic approach has involved;

• 13500 activity sessions to rebuild confidence, self-esteem and skills
• 1199 qualifications
• guidance to achieve 950 new jobs and
• support into 4292 safe homes.

 
We were planning a big party to bring people together, to celebrate all that has been achieved over the past 25 years. This Sunday we were planning to run through the city in the Great Manchester Run. Instead we're celebrating at home and we're asking you to join us. Fundraise from home around the theme of '25' and support people who are homeless in Manchester. We have 25 ideas to get everyone involved, don't forget to sign up and let us know you’re joining us.

It is a difficult time for a lot of us and so we appreciate your support if you are able. With potentially cancelled sponsored events likely affecting us for a long time we have never needed your support more.
 
The coronavirus pandemic was not the 25th celebration we had planned. Sometimes things don’t go the way you hope, it's how you respond that matters. Watch our anniversary video for a view into how we have been responding.
