The friendships I have made there are amazing, and a real reason for living. The love, laughter, and enjoyment there and the contact with others actually keeps me going

There is a caring sharing atmosphere which is so important to our seniors along with programmes for our physical needs

The people I have met…show so much love and concern for those that seek help with aliments and also companionship. Their smile, hugs, encouragement and even a hot cupa and snacks is so comforting

Robyn and the services of Manchester House has been such a big help to me. The course she runs and the people there are more than just a group of addicts! We are like a big family. I have no idea were I would be right now if it wasnt for robyn probly still homeless high or dead. She has helped me over come so much n get to such a better place in my life where i feel im finally good enough to be a good dad and there not enough words to describe how thankful i am for her and the manchester house service.

You were here when we needed it and when no one else would- you guys came along and stuck by us. You have just been here

Love Manchester House Op Shop! Have had so many great finds there. Awesome quality clothes/shoes and accessories beautiful displayed and at proper op shop prices. Also love picking up the occasional vintage piece, and of course a cute this or that for the kitchen. Books too! The list goes on. A fave on my op shop rounds, plus an added bonus to always feel welcomed and at home there. Thanks Manchester op shop team- you’re doing a wonderful job!

I’ve been an avid op shopper most of my adult life and have probably been to hundreds over the years. I shop at Manchester House regularly and always find the shop inviting, with friendly staff, great instore displays and realistic prices. Stock is clean, well laid out with lots of ideas showing what you can do with a little bit of imagination, and having a loyalty card is an extra bonus.

I cannot thank Bronwyn enough for all the help and wisdom she has given me. I feel such a warm kama and peacefulness after I have had a session with her. To me she is my lifeline and may it continue. Hopefully I can continue my wonderful journey with Bronwyn

I've had the privilege to have Belinda as my budget advisor for a few years now.

I came into the first appointment very shy and embarrassed about all my debts, I now am a very confident woman and with her guidance have very little debt she has helped me so much not only with my finances but as a person. She has taught me how to be accountable for my finances and that it's ok to have debt. I absolutely would recommend having a budget advisor especially her.

Manchester House supplies a desperately needed service to many people in our community less fortunate than others. Not everyone is able to provide the basic needs for themselves and their family, often through no cause of their own, and every donation can make a difference. Manchester House, Foodbank , the Senior Hub etc make such a difference to so many. We are fortunate to have such support in our area.
