What We Do - The Brick

Spanning Wigan and Leigh and operating in some of the most deprived local authority wards in England we work across five core areas: housing, personal development, food and health, financial wellbeing and training and employment.

Our mission is to empower people, by making life affordable for all. We treat poverty and homelessness as a social justice issue by ensuring people are given choices and the wrap around, person centred support they need.

Our approach is based on taking action:

Meeting felt needs – We RESPOND
Equipping people for self-sustaining, independent living – We RESTORE
Speaking out and acting against social injustice – We REFORM

There is rarely ever one problem in isolation. People are usually hit by several linked problems at the same time, including homelessness, substance misuse, mental illness, destitution, violence, and abuse. People who most need support typically find it difficult to navigate a complex structure of help. We provide practical help and to give people the confidence and skills to manage for themselves in the future.
