Manna House

We are a homeless prevention and housing advice service in our local community of Kendal. We run a drop in community where all are welcome and offer support vulnerable adults with many different issues including homelessness, addiction, mental health or just in need of housing or benefits advice.
We hold drop-in lunches where people can get food, showers, clothes and other basic needs. We also run weekly skills days with training and education and facilitate groups such as AA and NA.
We keep the profile of homelessness and housing issues raised in our local community and advocate for our vulnerable clients with landlords and statutory services.
Many of our clients have experience in the criminal justice system, we support them with prison visits, coordinating transitions and advocating on their behalf to make sure their needs are met.
