Bed every night continues

Hundreds of homeless Salford people will continue to benefit from Greater Manchester’s unique scheme A Bed Every Night.

It provides a bed, a warm welcome and personal support for anyone sleeping rough and helped over 2,000 people in its first year. Nearly 700 people moved on to long-term accommodation.

Another £6 million funding will provide 400 places across Greater Manchester until June 2020, including women-only spaces, provision for couples, dogs and people with complex needs. Front-line staff and volunteers will be trained to help people get health services.
