Rebuilding Lives



	*Manchester Multi Agency Homeless Forum* *Rebuilding Lives Task Group*

This Group is made up of various organisations and agencies helping to improve and increase the provision of meaningful activities for homeless people in Manchester.

Meeting every two months, it provides the opportunity for those working with homeless people to get together and share information, ideas, good practice and contacts. The Group is also responsible for administering a small grants programme to promote new activities and assist recipients in finding further funding.

Rebuilding Lives Task Group is open to new members who are interested in contributing to this work.
