World Homeless Day

Today, 10th October, is World Homeless Day and will be marked around the world in dozens of countries on all continents. The purpose of World Homeless Day is to highlight the needs of homeless people locally and to provide an opportunity for communities to get involved and respond to those needs in practical ways.

What We Do:

Here at The Brick, we provide emergency accommodation today and every day of the year, but we don’t stop there. We support and encourage people to take control of their lives, creating and brokering opportunities for people based on their strengths, coaching them through financial, personal and circumstantial difficulties.

Today and every day we will provide shelter to homeless individuals across the Wigan Borough, we will provide hot and nutritious meals, clothing and showers. Today and every day we will provide positive conversations and supportive friendships, we will help people to find the spark that enables them to believe that they have a different future. Today and every day we create plans, we provide opportunities to build those futures and we believe in them.

Today on world homelessness day and every day we help to REBUILD LIVES.
