Homelessness is a challenging issue, often leading to significant emotional and mental health struggles. Activities are organised to support customers, including the creation and display of artwork.

Engaging in artistic activities can be incredibly therapeutic; it helps reduce anxiety and fosters a sense of community and belonging. The presence of artwork not only brightens the environment, but also serves as a powerful tool for improving mental health, offering customers a creative outlet to express themselves and find solace amidst their difficulties.

We would welcome donations of arts and crafts products that can be used by our customers to engage in artistic activities. Items such as: small canvases, acrylic paints, small paint brushes, colouring books, paint by numbers books, colouring pencils.

Some of our customers are also taking part in small gardening projects, another way of fostering positive communities. Donations of flower or vegetable seeds, and small bags of compost are welcomed.

If you would like to donate, email: shaista.habib@maninplace.org.uk for further details of drop off location and items you wish to give.

Thank you.
