Booth Centre

The Booth Centre is a drop-in and activity centre for homeless people. The centre opened in 1995 and is based in Manchester Cathedral.

We aim

  • To provide a welcoming and accepting environment for people who are homeless.
  • To empower people to make informed choices and make positive changes in their lives.
  • To provide positive experiences in order to help people to build self respect and self confidence and to look to the future.

We do this through

  • Providing a drop-in and activity centre for people who are homeless.
  • Offering advice to help people resolve their problems.
  • Providing a base for activities which are creative, therapeutic, challenging and enjoyable.
  • Giving people help to move on to education, training and employment.
