Coffee4Craig provide a seven nights a week evening drop-in service for people who are rough sleeping within Manchester. But they offer so much more than just home-cooked hot food. Practical advice and signposting, crisis intervention, medical support, accommodation referrals and always emotional support – 7 nights a week.
Coffee4Craig supports over 60 people each night and also offers an out of hours referral service for A Bed Every Night (when the temperature drops to zero and people who face sleeping outside are offered accommodation).
This is in partnership with The Men’s Room, Manchester City Council Outreach Team and day services in Manchester.
C4C is relocating from February 13th 2020 and will be reopening from Great Ducie Street, Manchester on the 13th of March 2020. The intention is to relocate and reopen with as little disruption as possible.
Here’s how you can help
