Emmeline's Pantry
Manchester, UK
There are so many women and children in Manchester unable to make ends meet for reasons including benefit cuts, sudden job loose, sudden carer duties and illness. So many women have to chose between heating and children's nappies and this is a choice no woman should ever have to make.
We aim to support women by providing food, toiletries and baby items to keep them going in times of hardship.
We welcome the support from organisations and members of our community. Please get in touch if you can offer donations or financial contributions.

Polish Centre Wilno Manchester
Manchester, UK
The Polish Centre Wilno Manchester is a newly established not for profit organisation run by volunteers.
The aim of the Centre is to bring together the whole community in a happy and friendly atmosphere and to showcase our Polish traditions, history and culture. It is for the use and benefit of everyone irrespective of age, heritage or connection to Poland. Everyone is welcome at the Centre.
We distribute food and essentials to families, the elderly and vulnerable people who are on low income who are struggling financially.
We are looking for volunteers, sponsorship and donations to help with the running and maintenance costs of the Centre and we would also like to make use of any surplus food or other goods that you may be able to provide so that we can give it to people who are most in need in the community. There are lots of local families with children who struggle to make ends meet and there are lots of elderly people who are lonely and isolated who could make use of our Centre and what we can offer them.
With your help we can make a difference to many people's lives.

Betel UK Manchester
Manchester, UK
About Betel
We are a Christian charity dedicated to helping men, women and families facing social exclusion, including homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and long-term unemployment.
Our Mission
At Betel UK, we're on a mission to transform lives through faith, community and hard work. We provide a safe and structured family-like environment, offering peer support to help individuals overcome the challenges they face.
Our Approach
Our unique approach doesn't rely on clinical programs or on-site doctors. Instead, we offer a supportive environment where residents are paired with brother- or sister-like mentors. For those in need, we work with medical specialists to provide medically assisted detox, followed by peer-led support. We provide a stable, consistent environment that promotes making daily choices towards freedom.
Our Impact
Today, Betel residences across the globe host more than 2,400 individuals seeking recovery, offering them a path to healing and independence.
Our Locations
We have several centers throughout England and Scotland, including Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Hexham and Motherwell. Our residences are drug- and alcohol-free, providing training in life and employment skills, all at no cost.
Our Redistribution Model
We are a residency, and people join us to live for the duration of the 12 - 18 month programme. We provide all of the meals, drinks and snacks each day for our residents. That starts with breakfast, some men go out to work and take a packed lunch, some eat lunch on site, and then the evening meal. All drinks and snacks in between are provided as well. The men take turns and responsibility for preparing the meals for the community.
