We're proud to share that we have received a donation of £2,282 from Manchester Credit Union's Busy Bee Lottery. This donation means a lot because it helps us to continue our ongoing work to support people facing homelessness across Greater Manchester.
For over 50 years, Petrus has been helping people rebuild their lives by providing practical support, safe accommodation and opportunities for recovery and personal growth. We work alongside individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability every day, and our team helps them access support to move forward.
This donation will contribute towards vital services we provide, ensuring we’re available to those who need us most.
Mandy Wilcock, CEO of Manchester Credit Union, said:
“We’re proud to support Petrus through our Busy Bee Lottery. The charity does incredible work helping people facing homelessness across our region to transform their lives, and we’re pleased this donation will help ensure that vital support is there for people who need it most.”
Rachael Bennion, Service Lead at Petrus, added:
“We’re delighted to have been awarded this donation thanks to the Manchester Credit Union’s Busy Bee Lottery. People often find it difficult to know where to go and who to ask for help, and we try to make this as easy as possible.
At Petrus, we engage with individuals and start to build a relationship with them, which is key to building trust and facilitating positive choices. We encourage individuals to access appropriate support and can refer them into housing. The funding will help in supporting the work we do at Petrus in our ongoing mission to end homelessness and create safe places where all people can flourish.”
