Wood Street Mission

Wood Street Mission is a children’s charity helping children and families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford.

We provide struggling families with children’s clothes, bedding, baby equipment, toiletries, toys and books. We promote engagement in education by helping families with the costs of going to school through our Smart Start project and run Book Roadshows to promote reading and improve children’s literacy. We also provide toys for children to have presents on Christmas Day.

We help thousands of children and their families every year, and all our services are free for families to access on referral.

As an independent charity we rely on our supporters to raise and donate funds and items, and to raise awareness of our work. We have hundreds of volunteers helping us each year, who are essential.

Wood Street Mission was established in 1869 and you can learn more about us here - www.woodstreetmission.org.uk
