Who we’ve Supported

Testimonials from some of the charities we have supported in the last 12 months

The Charity Service have provided the Booth Centre with invaluable grant funding, both to weather the challenges of the pandemic as well as to help us run our activities on an ongoing basis. At the Booth Centre we help hundreds of people affected by homelessness every year, and funding from the Charity Service has been instrumental in allowing us to offer a range of different services to support people to move forward in their lives. We are so appreciative of the open, friendly and professional communication we have always received from the Charity Service and proud to count them as a valued partner.

Communication has been clear and they have always been happy to answer any queries. We are proud to have received funding from the Charity Service for our work supporting vulnerable people in Greater Manchester.

The team of NCA are truly grateful and appreciative of the support received from the Charity Service Discretionary Fund. We applied for and received a grant of £10,000 which saved our local weekly Community Diner offering social connection with a freshly hot cooked meal with a smile. We have already connected with 84 different people and this funding will allow us to connect with so many more. This is not only thanks from NCA but the community of Northmoor which the Diner serves.
