A hidden safe haven in Manchester is looking for warm and friendly people to support its mission to help disadvantaged and vulnerable adults.

Day Centre Cornerstone in Hulme aims to support the wellbeing of more than 150 people every day, but now it needs the public’s help.

Cornerstone receives no public funds and is entirely reliant on contributions from charitable trusts and individual sponsors.

The centre has been run by Sister Lucy for 15 years and she continues to offer comfort and shelter to the homeless, drug addicts and alcoholics with the limited resources she has.

The shelter is open overnight and is dependent on public support to help fund night staff.

Julian, one of the centre’s support workers, insists the public are already generous enough with food handouts but more help is needed if they are going to provide comfort to all that need it.

He said: “The food we store in our food bank and the toiletries we store are partly donated or we receive it from Fair Share and Costco. We have some good deals with them.”

A female client of the centre praised fellow Cornerstone visitors for providing her with comfort during her hardest times and further praises the staff for their support.

The client said: “All the staff are very good, always supportive and very understanding.”

 

 

The centre is very thankful to all those who have supported their cause since 1991.
