Lifeshare

16/06/2026

A huge good luck to Andrew of Depledge Strategic Wealth Management, as he takes on the incredible challenge of swimming across Coniston this weekend in support of Lifeshare.

This is no small feat, and we’re incredibly grateful that Andrew has chosen to push himself both physically and mentally to help raise funds for people experiencing homelessness and hardship in Manchester.

Every stroke will help us continue providing vital support, practical assistance, and hope to some of the city’s most vulnerable people.

From everyone at Lifeshare – thank you, Andrew. We’re cheering you on every step (and swim stroke!) of the way. You’ve got this! 🏊‍♂️💙

This National Volunteers’ Week, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who gives their time to support Lifeshare. ❤️

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. They collect food donations, cook and serve hot breakfasts from 7–9am every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, sort clothing donations, manage our shower facilities, prepare food parcels, make endless teas and coffees, offer a listening ear and friendly conversation, and so much more.

Thanks to their dedication, compassion and hard work, hundreds of people experiencing homelessness and hardship receive practical support, dignity and kindness every week.

To all our volunteers – thank you for showing up, caring deeply, and making a real difference in people’s lives. We simply couldn’t do it without you.

This Sunday, Anthony, a former Lifeshare service user, is taking on the 10K to give back to Lifeshare, a charity that supported him when he was homeless.

Lifeshare was a lifeline to Anthony during one of the hardest periods of his life, and now he’s running to help others facing homelessness in Manchester get the same support, safety and hope he once needed. ❤️

So far, he’s raised an incredible £360, but he’s hoping to reach £1,000 before race day on Sunday. Every donation, no matter the size, will help Lifeshare continue providing essential support to vulnerable and homeless people across the city.

If you can, please support Anthony’s amazing challenge and help him smash his target. 🙌

Anthony spent 7 years experiencing homelessness. During that time, Lifeshare’s Breakfast Club became a place of safety, offering not just food and essentials, but kindness, dignity, and hope.

Now, he’s giving back.

On 31 May, Anthony is running the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run 10K to raise £1,000 so Lifeshare can continue supporting people facing homelessness across Manchester.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps someone take a step towards a fresh start.

Please support Anthony if you can 💛 donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/anthonymeara-turbo-31?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

April was full of moments that mattered.
Meals shared. Miles run. Stories told. Support passed on.

If you’ve supported us, thank you 👏.
If you’re thinking about it - now’s the time to get involved 🤍

We’re so proud of our friend and former service user Anthony today. He is taking part in the UK’s biggest charity boxing event ultrawhitecollarboxing today.

We could not be more grateful to him for being such a vocal supporter of Lifeshare and the work we do - he is even wearing a Lifeshare vest to compete.

Of course, his Lifeshare family are there to cheer him on as he takes on his opponent! He has been training so hard so please show your love & support in the comments!

P.S. the eagle-eyed of you will recognise Anthony as the artist who designed our amazing Christmas apron last year (what can he NOT do?)

Without our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to provide the service we do.

Volunteering is a powerful way to give back while growing as a person. It helps you build new skills, meet great people, and boost your confidence. Giving your time can also improve your wellbeing and give a real sense of purpose. Most importantly, it makes a meaningful difference in the lives of others and your community.

Nearly half of the adult population is likely to volunteer at least once in 2026, but what would happen if they didn't?
