Our services are delivered on an outreach basis directly on the streets across Wigan and Leigh. This ensures we are supporting individuals who are experiencing homeless and may not be engaging with other services. We deliver our outreach during the day but also in the evening and in the early hours of the morning when many of the most vulnerable are struggling. Our focus is on engaging people as early as possible, supporting their immediate wellbeing, and helping to prevent anyone from spending the night sleeping on the streets.
If you are concerned about someone you believe may be sleeping rough, please contact us at outreach@thebrick.org.uk. Our team will check on their welfare and support them to access emergency accommodation where needed.
Pathfinderis a homeless prevention project across Greater Manchester, in partnership with Greater Manchester Better Outcomes Partnership (GMBOP) and Greater Manchester Combined Authorities (GMCA).
We offer coaching for anyone aged 16-35 who is faced with the possibility of losing their accommodation or wanting to improve or maintain their accommodation to avoid facing homelessness in the future. Progression Coaches, Ashleigh and Issac offer person-led coaching; this means you take the lead and are fully in control of your transition and any changes you choose to make whilst working with a coach. As well as working with you around accessing, remaining or exploring accommodation, coaching also covers a range of aspects that you feel will develop your strengths, ambitions and passions, this may be related to interests, wellbeing, finances, learning or any other opportunities you would like to explore.
If you would like to find out more information or believe you or someone you know are in a situation which may result in facing homelessness in the future, please get in touch with the team: pathfinder@thebrick.org.uk or fill in the PATHFINDER SELF REFERRAL FORM
