For over 50 years, Petrus has supported those at risk of homelessness in Rochdale, Oldham, and Burnley. At our Rochdale Hub, individuals in need can access free meals, drinks, showers, clean clothes, laundry, and personal care amenities. Over 1,000 meals and 100 food parcels are distributed monthly. We assist up to 800 people annually, and our supported housing accommodates over 200 individuals, helping residents build life skills, manage tenancies, and overcome challenges. Partnerships, such as Greater Manchester Housing First and the Women’s Support Alliance, allow us to meet the wider, complex needs of individuals through trauma-informed care and empowerment-focused services. To promote wellbeing, we run inclusive groups and nature-based activities at our community allotment, Petrus Incredible Edible Rochdale. These reduce social isolation and forge friendships. In 2024/2025, Petrus generated over £15 million in social value, showing that addressing homelessness goes beyond bricks and mortar. Together, we will end homelessness and create safe places where all people can flourish.
