How it works      

Referrals to The Beeches are via Centrepoint on Oldham St in Manchester. You will be female, aged 16-25 and homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Customers from Stopover, our sister project, may also be offered to move onto The Beeches if they are assessed to require a higher level of support.

You’ll receive up to 6 months accommodation with support to identify appropriate move-on accommodation, working with other housing providers.

Getting the most out of our service

• You’ll be supported to help re-establish relationships with family where appropriate.
• We’ll support you to stay safe, improve your mood, motivation & confidence to overcome any barriers to success.
• Training is on hand to develop independent living and tenancy skills via the Centrepoint in order to access appropriate move-on options and to sustain a successful longer term tenancy with help from floating support.

Why we are different

The Beeches is more than a temporary home. Our person-centred support is developed around your individual risks, needs and your aspirations. We work to help you achieve your potential, in relationships, work or education, and to build self-esteem. You’ll receive practical advice and support to move on to live more independently.
