Red Door Project
About this service
Red Door is our day centre for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Bury (see below for our address and contact details).
We provide a warm welcome to anyone over 18 and provide holistic support including helping with housing, finance/benefits and health issues, with a big focus on wellbeing. We also provide free nutritious meals and a warm hub where people can socialise and receive support.
Our homelessness services such as Red Door aim to ensure people in Manchester have the support they need to prevent them from becoming homeless, that people who do become homeless are helped to secure safe accommodation with the support they need to make a new home, and that no one has to sleep rough.
The team, as well as delivering direct housing outcomes, also enables people to improve their wellbeing through services that meet immediate basic needs, promote mental health and wellbeing, enable people to access healthcare and other support services and to take up education, training, volunteering opportunities and employment – all as a means of sustaining positive housing outcomes.
Anyone can drop in during our opening hours, with no referral needed. Professionals can call ahead and refer people if required too.
The service is tailored to the needs of the individuals and we always aim to listen and adapt to ensure we can meet their needs and support them to transform their lives.
