A fresh look, the same heart ❤️

We’re so excited to share Contact’s new brand identity and website!

Inspired by the iconic archway, our refreshed logo represents home, and new beginnings, values that have always been at the heart of what we do.

With our new look, we’ve launched a redesigned website to make it easier than ever to access support, find information, and learn more about our work.

Take a look here... https://contacthostel.co.uk/

While our appearance may have changed, our commitment remains the same: supporting teenage girls and young women experiencing homelessness and helping create brighter futures.

Here's to new beginnings, new opportunities and the next chapter for Contact!

A huge thank you to Open & Honest for their creativity, expertise, and support in bringing our new brand and website to life.

A huge thank you and congratulations to all our incredible runners🏃‍♀️

What a day it was at the Great Manchester Run on Sunday!

From the fundraising efforts to the training and determination shown on the day, every single one of you made a difference. We are so grateful for your support and for helping us continue our work with young women experiencing homelessness.

A special mention to Shanae whose journey with Contact makes this achievement especially meaningful. Seeing former residents go on to achieve great things and give back in this way is always inspiring, and we're incredibly proud of everything she has accomplished.

✨Shanae said:

"Raising funds for Contact, who once housed and fed me, really gave me the motivation and dedication to push through and believe in myself and we did it!! Super grateful to all my work friends that pushed themselves (and me!!) through to that finish line. As Carson rightly said, each of us left parts of our souls on that course, but there isn’t another charity we would rather voluntarily torture ourselves for!"

A massive thank you as well to the fantastic team at SAS Daniels, our Charity of the Year partners, the team at Astute, our trustee Kirsty and everyone else who ran, fundraised, donated, cheered from the side lines or supported along the way!

Your energy, commitment and generosity mean the world to us. We couldn't do what we do without people like you.

Well done, Team Contact ❤️

We are thrilled to have been selected to take part in the Small Charity Week Big Give for the second year running!

From 22nd – 29th June, every donation you make via The Big Give website will be doubled - that's right DOUBLED!

Our target is to raise £10,000 to help us continue our vital work providing a safe home for teenage girls in need.

Pop 22nd June in your diary and please share our post to help us hit our target.

Last year we were delighted with the support we received, and we’d love you to get involved again this year!

Our goal is to raise £10,000, and every donation - big or small - brings us one step closer. Whatever you can give will help us change lives.

Thank you to , , and for this opportunity.

Last week, our Fundraiser, Victoria (left) had the pleasure of attending The Willows W.I, Sale, end of year meeting and shared a presentation about Contact Hostel, and what a lovely, welcoming evening it was! From the warm atmosphere, to the delicious homemade carrot cake and tea 🍰☕Everyone was very supportive. So thanks to everyone who attended.

Over the past year, the Willow W.I's fundraising efforts have been incredible, raising an amazing £1,617.87 for Contact 👏 This support, along with regular monthly donations, helps us keep the hostel running and provide a safe, clean space for those who need it most.

We are truly overwhelmed by their kindness and generosity, and we’re so excited to be chosen again as your charity for the year ahead.

Thank you for everything!

Victoria said "It was such an absolute pleasure to meet everyone at my first ever presentation for Contact and giving everyone a more deeper understanding of the work we do! The Willows W.i have been great supporters in 2025 and we are delighted they have chose to support us again, fundraising through 2026"

🏃🏼‍♀️Supporter Spotlight: Kirsty 🎉

Solicitor. Mum of two. Marathon trainee. Exam student. Born and bred Mancunian. Former New Zealander. United fan.
Oh, and self-confessed non-runner. 😄

is part of the brilliant team at SAS Daniels, who have chosen Contact Hostel as their Charity of the Year, and we couldn't be more grateful. Kirsty isn't stopping there. This year she's taking on not one but TWO running challenges: the Great Manchester Run AND the London Marathon. All while juggling a seven-year-old, a one-year-old, a legal career and a stack of revision. 🏃‍♀️
We asked her why. Here's what she said:

"I think what Contact Hostel provides is so important, with opportunity, support and encouragement, someone's life can be completely transformed. We all need a little help sometimes."

Every step Kirsty takes is a step towards safe shelter, support, and a fresh start for young women experiencing homelessness and difficult situations in Manchester.

Kirsty, you might say you're not much good at running, but from where we're standing, you are extraordinary. Thank you, keep going! 💙🏅

A huge thank you to our incredible corporate partners, SAS Daniels, for their kind donation of Easter eggs and toiletries to the hostel, and for taking the time to drop them off in person. We are so grateful for your continued support and generosity.

SAS Daniels are already doing amazing things for Contact, and their proactive approach has been truly impressive. We’re also excited that many of the team will soon be taking part in the GM Run to raise funds for us, not long to go now!

As always, a special thank you to (left) and Hannah from for their ongoing support. Shanae’s journey as a former resident, and the way she now uses her platform in her professional role to give back to Contact, is truly inspiring.

We’re so thankful to have such dedicated and compassionate people in our corner 💛
