The Booth Centre is a Community Hub located in Manchester, offering a holistic, person-centred service. We are open and accessible to anyone impacted by poverty across Greater Manchester, we support those in crisis or immediate need whilst providing a homelessness prevention-focused service. Since 1995, the Booth Centre has been on a mission to bring about the positive change that people who are homeless need, to realise a better future. We are hugely proud of the life changing support that we have been able to provide for thousands of people affected by homelessness.

This strategy aims to provide us with a road map for our work from April 2024 – April 2026​. Our experience over the past three years tells us that the cause, effects and impact of homelessness, poverty and social exclusion evolve quickly, often driven by things out of our sphere of direct influence and control. To better respond to this, we are guided by two key principles:
  • A dynamic approach which allows us to fully review progress at 2 years or to extend by a year (+1).
  • Sufficient flex to respond to emerging opportunities and problems, with the requisite capacity to allow for delivery and development of the plan.
The strategy covers a 2-year period initially, with the option to comprehensively review at the end of that period or to extend it by a year, if the delivery plan and demand require it.
