Grit Street Aid

RCN 1183979, Manchester

Grit Street Aid provides mobile assistance to rough sleepers and the homeless throughout Greater Manchester. We offer help to people where they live on the street, and provide food, clothing, bedding and other essentials. Our primary aim is to build solid relationships with all our service users, and encourage them over time to engage with other services.

Grit Street Aid provides roadside assistance for rough sleepers throughout Greater Manchester by providing food, clothing, and other essential items, and befriending. We try to engage with rough sleepers with a view to helping them move into secure accommodation. This also includes signposting and working with other services to help them get the help they require. We have recently been awarded £10,000 from Awards for All towards the purchase of an electric van which will enable us to run a greener service to benefit the environment we work in and the people we help. As modern vehicles produce less emissions, we hope this will enable us to serve the people we meet where they live on the streets or in other locations throughout Greater Manchester. Many people we help have health issues already, and an electric vehicle would enable us to go out to meet their needs without fear of adding to their problems.
