We have an additional focus on Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic backgrounds and Refugees (BAMER) and young female offenders.

    TPC delivers services to the most challenging and hard to engage young people and provide a disciplined, structured and outcome focused service for both the young person and the placing local authorities. Our individually tailored placement plans are developed to address the young person's particular needs. At their heart, they cover independent living, gaining and maintaining employment, training, educational and other previously unsupported needs.

    TPC has a national portfolio of accommodation available to young people, including 8 units in Manchester, 10 units in Liverpool and 6 units in Leeds. All the accommodation is located on a single site 'foyer' style which we believe provides a more intensive, supportive and manageable solution to the needs of young people.

    Whilst many organisations claim to be different, Transitional Plus Care truly is unique. We are sector focused with over 20 year's experience within the Criminal Justice System. Our team are highly experienced individuals with a wealth of knowledge and skills.

  6. Muslim Youth Helpline

    MYH is a national award winning charity that provides free and confidential faith and culturally sensitive support services targeted at vulnerable young people in the UK.

    MYH was founded in August 2001 by young people to respond to the social problems endured by Muslim youth in the UK.

    Our core service is a free and confidential Helpline, available nationally via the telephone, email, live chat text and letters. The service uses male and female volunteers trained in basic counselling skills to respond to client enquiries on any issue.

    MYH also runs an annual Prison Campaign that sends Eid cards and messages of support to Muslims in prison during Ramadan. We encourage them to contact the Helpline for support via the phone and letter writing. We reach out to an average of 3,000 male and female prisoners each year.

    MYH puts young people at the heart of its services and actively recruits young people from the Muslim community to be at the forefront of service delivery.  The majority of our Helpline workers are under the age of 28 years and are drawn from across the ethnically diverse Muslim communities of the UK. 

    By omitting the generation gap and the cultural restrictions of an adult-run service, we are able to build the trust of young people and deal effectively with the social pressures that young people from the Muslim community have never before been able to reveal.

    Whilst the issues MYH deals with are no different from most other helplines in the UK, MYH is able to provide its clients with faith and culturally sensitive support – something which mainstream services are still unable to provide. By providing safe spaces in which we listen, we are breaking the taboos of silence that prevent young Muslims from talking about their problems which makes them more acute. Young people from all backgrounds contact the Helpline and we never turn anyone away.

    Since 2005 MYH has also produced a number of reports on the issues that young people get in touch with us about. These can be found on our website at http://www.myh.org.uk/content/research

    MYH does not propagate any religious or political beliefs and seeks only to provide relief to and improve the social condition of vulnerable young people in the UK.

    What is Supported Lodgings?

    Trafford Supported Lodgings Scheme is part of Trafford's Children and Young People's Service. The scheme recruits local people - 'Lodgings Providers' who can provide safe, secure and supportive accommodation within their own homes to young people aged 16-25. The young people may be in supported lodgings for a variety of reasons e.g. leaving care, family breakdown, bereavement, risk of harm - but all require emotional support and practical guidance in order to develop the skills and confidence to live independently.

    Who can be a Lodgings Provider?

    Young people come from all walks of life so we need Lodgings Providers from a variety of backgrounds. You may be:

    • A family, single person or couple
    • From any ethnic background
    • Young or old
    • Working or not working
    • With or without children
    • Heterosexual, lesbian, gay or bisexual
    • Disabled or able-bodied

    To ensure that safety of young people we carry out a range of police, health and other checks.

    Do I need any special skills or qualities?

    Being a Supported Lodgings Provider is not about having any particular qualifications but we ask that you:

    • Get on with teenagers and enjoy their company
    • Can provide a clean, comfortable room within a safe and secure home
    • Are warm, caring and patient
    • Have a non-judgemental attitude
    • Flexibility to adapt to the needs of individual young people
    • Want to help a young person succeed

    What's in it for me?

    • A rewarding experience - being a Lodgings Provider can give you a sense of satisfaction knowing that you are making a positive difference to the life of a young person.
    • Support and training - The scheme will offer you training and support to help you in your role of Lodgings Provider.
    • An opportunity to earn some extra money - Lodgings Providers receive financial support.

    We’re a women’s organisation that assists women affected by physical as well as mental, financial, sexual and emotional domestic abuse. Our guiding principle is that we will never turn our back on a woman in need of our help. And we won’t give in to bureaucracy at the expense of real lives. While some statutory agencies turn women away because they don’t have the right legal status or their situation doesn’t quite fit into the agency’s remit, we’ll do what we can to help. Regardless.

    We address needs that are immediate: we help women leave abusive situations and refer them to appropriate shelters. We help them access financial support. We also address their emotional needs by helping them through the initial trauma. We provide counselling and support groups to get them on their feet. And we address long term needs: we are setting up sustainable educational programmes that enable these women to go from victims to fully independent citizens.

    The British Red Cross helps vulnerable people in crisis. We help asylum seekers and refugees access essential services and adjust to life in a new country.

    Our orientation service helps vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers adapt to life in a new country by offering:

    • Short term, one-to-one advice and support in adjusting to a new environment
    • Help with accessing health, education, welfare and legal services
    • Information about local facilities such as libraries, pharmacies and post offices
    • Links to local community groups, play groups and English language classes
    • Details of other services and agencies assisting refugees and asylum seekers.
    • Travel assistance service for refugees who are looking to be reunited with their families.

    Many of our trained volunteers come from refugee backgrounds themselves and speak over 20 languages.

    When matching volunteers and service users we always strive to provide someone who knows the local area and we consider language needs and gender.

    The Red Cross helps those asylum seekers unable to obtain support from the state and local authorities.

    This may be because their cases have been fully determined (rejected) or because they have been granted asylum but are having problems moving onto employment or mainstream benefits.

    Working in partnership with five projects across Greater Manchester (St Brides, Rainbow Haven, Oldham Unity, BRASS and Salford Food Parcels) the Red Cross offers destitute asylum seekers and refugees:

    • Food parcels, toiletries and money for a daily bus ticket
    • Help in accessing legal advice, support and accommodation
    • Details of useful health and educational institutions

    Women’s integration and support project (WISP)

    Thursdays 10am - 2pm

    WISP helps refugee and asylum seeking women adjust to life in Britain by providing educational and social opportunities and the chance to meet other women in a friendly setting where young children are welcome and catered for. We give women the opportunity to improve their English and other skills, while providing a supportive environment in which they can relax and enjoy themselves.

    Activities can include informal English language support, signposting, information sessions, arts and crafts workshops and trips during school holidays.

    Bridge men’s group

    Wednesdays 1pm - 4pm

    Bridge aims to help refugee and asylum seeking men facing isolation, disorientation, boredom and loneliness.

    We offer the opportunity to make new friends and learn skills relevant to integration into a new city and culture. This can include IT tasters, orientation tours of Manchester city centre, jobs and volunteering workshops, first aid training and football tournaments.
