Empowering People
To help people to develop the skills to act with confidence on their own behalf; eventually perhaps to assist others. We will start by walking alongside people as they seek to describe their situation and then to accompany them in sorting out their problems until they have sufficient confidence and self-esteem to tackle them.
Meeting Needs
We try to meet the needs of our guests whatever they may be. These may range from need for basic things such as food and drink, clothing, warmth and shelter to such things as a listening ear, companionship or support with debt or addiction problems. We do not judge the people we serve but try to meet them where they are on their life journey and help them to move on to a better situation if that is what they want.
Offering Hope
Throughout all our acquaintance we try to offer hope to people who may sometimes feel pretty hopeless. We believe things can change, problems can be overcome, struggle and strife can and will pass. We want to share that positive hope.
Embracing People
At Salford Loaves and Fishes we welcome anyone and everyone to our Drop-In Centre which exists particularly for homeless, isolated or vulnerable people in Salford and beyond.
