• The Foodbank (in partnership with Salford Foodbank)

This space builds community, reduces isolation, and offers practical support to those experiencing poverty, housing insecurity, or personal crisis.

Project Pearl

Outreach to Vulnerable Women

What is Project Pearl?

Project Pearl is a charity founded within Saint Philips Chapel Street, born from years of outreach with women involved in sex work across Greater Manchester and Salford. Many of these women face homelessness, addiction, and other vulnerabilities.

Our vision is to see women step out of exploitation and into their full potential, in a world where sexual exploitation is eradicated. Project Pearl provides:

• A Christian first-step sanctuary and safe ‘home from home’

• Specialist chaplaincy and outreach services

• Practical and spiritual care tailored to the needs of women in the sex industry

Through Project Pearl, we aim to offer hope, restoration, and pathways to new life.

More than

8,000 bags

What is Bags of Hope?

Bags of Hope is a simple but powerful initiative designed to bring hope to Manchester, Salford, and beyond. Each bag contains essential items that make a practical difference in someone’s life. Bags of Hope are distributed to:

• Asylum seekers

• Vulnerable women

• People experiencing homelessness

• Residents in deprived local communities

Through this program, we not only provide material support but also convey care, dignity, and encouragement to those who often feel overlooked.
