At Westbourne House, We provide short term accommodation 24 hours a day for 53 people. We serve 3 meals a day, ongoing support with a designated and committed support worker, signposting and referrals to any relevant services and assistance. Our education and enjoyable activities promote social inclusion and wellbeing. We want to help our service users to not only live independently but to thrive. That's why we offer assessments to all homeless people who attend our service. This helps us to understand any issues that are preventing each person from maintaining a tenancy successfully. We are then able to refer them to a more appropriate form of accommodation OR work with them with a person centred approach to help them become ready to live independently in the community.

Rekindle is a bold, youth-led charity which is flipping the script on education. First opening its doors in Hulme (Manchester), Rekindle has been revolutionising the way we support and educate young people since 2022. Co-designed during the pandemic by eight young people aged between 17 and 25 who recognised that the education system is unfairly stacked against young people from working-class and global majority backgrounds, Rekindle exists to spark a love of learning in disadvantaged young people and support them to become creative critical thinkers who are inspired and empowered to create change within their communities. Starting as a small grassroots movement, we have now become a national charity with a presence in London and Dundee, and hopes to continue expanding across the UK. Our flagship supplementary school for 11-14 year olds and HQ based in Hulme has become a community hub over the years, supporting marginalised groups and offering local residents a soulful space within which they can find solidarity and a sense of belonging. We recently launched the Rekindle Pantry in March 2025, an informal foodbank which supports members of the community impacted by the cost of living crisis and rising rates of food insecurity. We aim to expand our provision and reach through partnerships with supermarkets and businesses, to ensure that the Pantry remains sustainable and continues to have a positive impact on the community. Volunteers are always welcome! From helping out during evening sessions with the young people we work with, lending a hand with the Rekindle Pantry, giving up a bit of your free time to do some gardening, DIY, or repairs, supporting us at events and so much more, there is always something to do that would make a massive difference. If you are interested in partnering or volunteering with Rekindle, please get in touch with our Community and Corporate Partnerships Lead, Cara at cara@rekindle school.org
