The Charity behind the Charity Shop
Reach Out to the Community is a South Manchester street homeless charity.
The money you spend in our charity shop or online shopping sites goes back into the local community to help people experiencing homelessness and poverty.
Our shop stocks quality items consisting of anything and everything you could imagine and all at extremely low prices. We are a mostly volunteer-led organisation.
Our outreach Team travels around South Manchester several times a week, working in partnership with other agencie,s to identify and help people sleeping on the streets that we come across.
Outreach varies, usually starting at 6.00am when we begin a tour of the South Manchester area. This includes Manchester Airport, parks, meadows and any places where there have been reports of people bedding down.
Not everything that is donated to the shop is sold – some items are given to the people we support – from clothes to household items, all provide help and support when someone finally gets their own tenancy. We also help with supplies to homeless accommodations that we work with.
When you shop at Reach Out to the Community you will be reassured that the money you spend goes towards supporting local people experiencing homelessness and poverty. Why shop anywhere else?
