Yesterday at Full Council we had a presentation on The Wellspring, a charity helping homeless people in Stockport.  They’re doing fantastic work helping thousands of people but desperately need funding: £365 a day, 365 days a year.  If you can help – perhaps if your company can sponsor one day or week of the year – please take a look at their website.

The Wellspring is a resource center for homeless and disadvantaged people. The project is on Harvey st, behind Robinsons brewery in the town center.

The Wellspring is dependant on donations from the general public, businesses, schools and churches, donations of food, clothing, bedding, toiletries & financial donations are always needed.

The Wellspring provides numerous services and everything is completely free of charge. The project is open 365 days a year from 11.30am – 2pm and Monday to Thursday evenings from 6.30pm – 8pm.

The Wellspring actively engages with homeless people providing advice and support as well as referrals into housing or supported accommodation. The paid staff at The Wellspring have supported over 700 people into housing of some description. All of these people were sleeping rough on the streets of Stockport or Manchester at some time.The Wellspring is a resource center for homeless and disadvantaged people.
