Supporting our Community

One of MCU’s objectives as a business is to try and help as many people in the local community as we can, encouraging our members to save money and to provide affordable loans when they are in need of credit. A further way to enhance the support we can offer the local community is to partner with charities in the area who have similar ethics and values as MCU does.

For the next 12 months we are going to be supporting the work of 3 local charities; Barnabus, Feed my City and Mustard Tree and we would like to share some information about the great work they do in the community.

Barnabus is a Christian homeless charity with the sole aim of getting people off the streets and into their own home. They work with landlords, employers and health practitioners to provide many types of support. They run workshops and activities to help the homeless learn a trade and support them in finding a job. They also help with benefits advice, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

You can learn more about their work here.

Feed my City is an offshoot project of Manchester Sikh Foundation and has around 80 volunteers to help deliver their services. They provide hot and cold meals to people in need every day of the year and is free of charge to anyone in need.

You can learn more about their work here.

Mustard Tree provides a variety of support services to the Manchester community to prevent poverty and homelessness. They provide hot meals on site and also have a food club and furniture shop. They provide a number of classes to help people build new skills, including English speaking lessons, technology, arts and crafts and cookery. They also provide help with benefits, housing and debt advice.

You can learn more about their work here.

MCU will be supporting these charities by helping with donations, raising funds and volunteering. All three charities are looking for support from the wider community so if you have any spare time, why not get in touch with them to see how you might also be able to support the work they do?
