The Shed Winter Fundraising Campaign 

We’re running a fundraising campaign to help to support vulnerable, socially isolated, unemployed and homeless men in Salford.

Last year we supported over 200 men and this year,  we plan to help up to 400 men. Our campaign target is £10,000.

“When you have hope, you have everything. It gives you the vision and belief that there are brighter days ahead.”   Service User
