Warm Welcome, Firm Foundations
Find out how together we can offer hospitality, not hostility, to people seeking safety.
"For some people, home is like a place where they're sleeping. But for me, home - it's not only a place where I sleep. For me, home - it's like a place where every time I'm safe." -Daniil*
Boaz Housing: Safe, Warm and Welcoming
This is our pledge to offer not just shelter, but a true welcome to refugees and people seeking sanctuary in Greater Manchester. Following a full review of our Boaz Housing project last year, we are planning a year dedicated to renovating and improving the safety and energy efficiency of Boaz houses, to make sure these homes are fit for purpose for years to come as spaces of sanctuary, restoration and hope.
From fresh paint and warm carpets to essential kitchen upgrades and crucial compliance and safety improvements, your donation can help us transform these spaces into havens of dignity and hope.
We want to be able to offer even more places of safety in the months and years ahead, and as part of this, we also want to provide a dedicated van to increase the capacity of our housing team. This will help us transport essential supplies, furniture and other donations more efficiently while also reducing maintenance and repair costs and opening up new volunteering opportunities.
Will you stand with us in our mission this year, to offer a warm welcome and a firm foundation for people who are rebuilding their lives after seeking sanctuary in the UK?
By completing our CAF Donate Warm Welcome : Firm Foundations form below, you can safely and securely make your donation to help us offer safe, warm and welcoming housing for people seeking safety.

If you, your business, church, or community group are interested in making a larger donation or contributing a gift in kind, we would love to explore how your generosity can make a lasting impact.
Whether you’d like to support a specific renovation project, provide essential household items, or fund a vital upgrade, your contribution can help us to create places of safety and restoration.
Every act of generosity enables us to offer safe, warm and welcoming housing for people rebuilding their lives after seeking sanctuary here in Greater Manchester. To discuss how you can be part of this work, please email Heather on [email protected]
We can't wait to hear from you!
If our Warm Welcome : Firm Foundation campaign exceeds its target, or if the needs of this project change, additional funds will be used to support the wider work of Boaz Trust, helping us continue to provide safe, stable accommodation and specialist, trauma informed 1:1 support for people facing homelessness after seeking safety in the UK.
