What does good ‘move on’ look like?
Join NACCOM and Homeless Link for the launch of a new report that looks at why so many refugees become homeless after being granted status in the UK, and what can be done to prevent this from happening.
Advicenow are running a free course for organisations across England which support care leavers in securing their housing rights. The course will be delivered online and is funded by the National Lottery Reaching Communities project.
The course will give you the basic knowledge and skills you need to deal with key housing and benefits issues faced by people who have left care.
The free online workshops will take place on the following dates:
On Saturday 19th September 2026, the Booth Centre is hosting their final Sleepout at Manchester Cathedral. Whether you are grabbing your final opportunity to Sleepout at the Cathedral, or you are a die hard, returning veteran of the Sleepout, join the Booth Centre in celebrating their thriving community by bedding down for the last time.
It will be a night to remember – with first hand experiences of homelessness shared; providing a glimpse of the reality for so many, and highlighting the need for an urgent solution.
On Friday 25th September, Barnabus is hosting their Big Manc Sleep Out. Join Manchester's biggest charity home sleep out – swap your bed for one night, raise funds for Barnabus and help support people experiencing homelessness.
For just one night, Barnabus want to you to swap your bed for your garden, office, living room or another safe space. By giving up your usual comforts and fundraising for Barnabus, you'll be helping to break cycles of poverty, trauma and homelessness for good.
