Brentwood Middleton Day Centre services in Manchester

The Middleton Day Centre is open five days per week. Volunteers at the location provide support to the disadvantaged and homeless in the community. The centre also partners with other agencies in Manchester in an effort to meet the needs of the client.

The main programmes from the charity are listed below, however they will change based on donation levels. What the Brentwood Middleton Day Centre will try to do is collect more goods during certain times of the year to provide to the vulnerable. So during the winter months there may be more warm clothing or blankets passed out, in particular for the homeless. Or there will be free meals served at Christmas to families on a low income. The programmes offered by the charity change over time.

Programmes run from the Day Centre in Brentwood

The homeless, or people that are threatened with it, can get support from the volunteers. This advice is provided from Monday to Friday until 1 pm. People will need to drop in as the centre does not provide advice over the phone. The centre has been offering this service for over 20 years to the vulnerable.

The housing assistance can help find emergency accommodations in Manchester. They can signpost people to shelters or a short term hostel. A key aim is to get rough sleepers into some type of housing. Other support from the centre ranges from showers or a laundry for hygiene.

For tenants that are threatened with an eviction, the Middleton Day Centre will offer only advice that can hopefully help the tenant sustain their housing. The volunteers will help the client apply for either benefits or a DHP for their rent arrears in order to sustain their home. Or when needed resettlement services are provided too.

Information on any needs is given out until 1pm each and every day. Support workers offer a kind ear to anyone that drops in. Based on the request, they will try to provide aid. Or if the Middleton Day Centre does not offer the service, then they will refer the client to another local organisation.

Meals are also provided from the Brentwood Middleton Day Centre. The amount and type of food will depend on donations. The meals, whether lunch, breakfast, or dinner, are for individuals living in poverty or the homeless. When sitting down to use this service, a volunteer will help the client find a long term solution to avoid any long term food poverty that they may be threatened with.

Other support will be given at well as the same time of food. If there is clothing that has donated to the centre, then those items will be passed out to the person. Or they can get vouchers to foodbanks in Manchester or information on other long term support services.

Hours of the location are Monday to Friday. The Day Centre is at Brentwood, 115 Long Street, Middleton, Manchester, M24 6DL. The phone number is 0161 655 4062, but information and support ins only given to people that drop in.
