The COVID-19 crisis has put an unprecedented demand on the Charity. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and affiliates for supporting The Brick Charity in these tough times and allowing us to ensure no-one gets left behind.
COVID-19 Wall of Support
The Brick Project offers a huge range of services to people who are homeless, in poverty or facing debt crisis. This includes Crisis Intervention, Hospital to Home, Asset Coaching and Wigan’s largest Foodbank. As its name suggests, it provides a safe, solid building block for people in crisis to begin rebuilding their lives.
The Brick Shop is a charity shop selling donated goods, often to people on low incomes. The shop gives clothes free of charge to people referred by Wigan Council. The shop is one of the main hubs within its community.
The Brick Works offers training to increase the employment opportunities for people who are unemployed for a variety of reasons. This may include homelessness or recently housed people referred.
The Brick Giving aims to put an end to poverty and homelessness in Wigan and Leigh. Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, The Brick has faced a reduction in donations and increased demand for our services from people in need. We are determined to continue supporting the community to ensure no one gets left behind.
The Brick Re-Use has been set up to help educate people in the Wigan Borough about recycling and re-use. We also turn unwanted goods into lovingly restored furniture for families in need.
