✏️ Back to school Donations!

Somehow, it’s already mid-August and September is just around the corner!

A new school year means a fresh timetable, new goals and, of course, the very satisfying feeling of opening a brand-new notebook 📚

We’re looking for donations of school supplies and stationery to help our residents get ready for the year ahead.

We’d particularly welcome:

✏️ Notebooks and lined paper
🖊️ Pens, pencils and highlighters
📓 Pencil cases
📏 Rulers, rubbers and sharpeners
🔢 Calculators
🎒 Backpacks

You can buy items through our Amazon School Supplies Wishlist or drop donations off at the hostel.

A new notebook might seem like a small thing but sometimes it’s the little things that make a new beginning feel special

Fresh from the garden and straight from the plum tree at Contact!

We’ve had so many plums this year that we could probably open our own plum jam shop! So, naturally, we made jam 🌸

What’s next? We’re not quite sure… plum crumble? Plum cake? Plum chutney?

It’s little things like this that help make Contact feel like a home where our residents can feel comfortable and cared for 💛

We are proud to unveil our newly renovated downstairs bathroom at Contact Hostel ✨

In just a few days, the wonderful Bathroom Angels team transformed a tired and outdated space into a bright, modern bathroom that the young women we support can enjoy and take pride in. The skill and attention to detail throughout the refurbishment has made such a positive change to our home.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr Michael Josephson MBE for generously funding this project and for his continued support of Contact Hostel. Following his previous support in renovating our hallway and landing, Dr Michael Josephson MBE has once again helped us create a welcoming place where the young women living here feel valued and at home.

We are extremely grateful for Dr Michael Josephson MBE’s kindness and ongoing belief in our work. His support makes a lasting difference to the lives of the young women we support, we cannot thank him enough.

Our thanks also go to Diane and the team at Bathroom Angels for carrying out the refurbishment with such care and professionalism. The finished bathroom is a space everyone at Contact Hostel can be proud of!

We’ve done it, but you can still donate towards our campaign!

We’ve reached our £10,000 target on The Big Give 🎉

We honestly didn’t expect to get here, especially in just 4 days. We’re so incredibly grateful to every single person who donated, shared, supported, and helped make this happen.

It’s been a very hot week, and the response from our community has been nothing short of amazing. This milestone is a real reminder of the impact our work can have when people come together.

Thank you for showing up for us in such a big way , it means more than we can say.

A quick note: the campaign is still open until Monday morning, so donations are still very welcome and will continue to support our work. However, now that we’ve hit the target, donations will no longer be matched/doubled, they will still go directly towards helping us continue what we do.

If you’re thinking about giving, there’s still time, and every contribution still counts.



Thank you again — we couldn’t have done this without you 💛

25/06/2026

Wow! We're getting there - we need £1,450 in donations and we will have hit our £10,000 target!

Remember your donations are DOUBLED!

If you have been thinking about donating - now is the time! Please help us to hit our target and continue providing a safe haven for girls in Manchester ❤️

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far - you're all amazing!
