After a relationship breakdown, "A" found themselves sleeping rough on the streets of Manchester. With the support of a BMHC charity, they began to rebuild their life. Real Change MCR provided funding for a deposit, rent, a child's bedding and kitchen equipment. "A" has now held their home for over a year.
"C" came to Manchester as a language learner and ended up sofa-surfing with no stable home. They connected with the Booth Centre and Stop Start Go (SSG), who helped them get a flat and appliances to furnish it. "C" is now pursuing their dream of becoming an emergency paramedic.
"E" worked as a roofer until a knee injury put them out of work. During COVID, they lost their home and started drinking. With support from Coffee 4 Craig, A Bed Every Night and SSG, "E" overcame their addiction. Real Change MCR funded a deposit and first month's rent for a new flat. "E" has been living independently for over a year.
Supporting people since 2016, Real Change MCR has raised over £310,000 and helped over 1,600 people.
