The wonderful Roby in Longsight has won CAS:H grant funding from Manchester City Council’s Longsight Ward so that they can open their doors each morning from Monday to Friday between 8:30 and 9:30 and will be providing free breakfasts, a space to be social and have fun and also to get support first thing in the morning if things are getting you down.
The funding allows the Roby to provide basic breakfast food and drinks (with a healthy focus, but with the odd Bacon Butty available as a treat) but we will be relying on volunteers to staff the kitchen, help with preparing breakfast, cooking, serving and providing hot and cold drinks and smoothies.
The Roby is a mental health and well-being charity based in Longsight with its community centre in the Roby United Reform Church on Dickenson Road. The charity provides essential services to individuals living with mental health conditions, rough sleepers and people living in sheltered / supported housing, people with drug and alcohol issues, refugee and asylum seekers and many others. The Roby a welcoming organisation that takes an active stance in tackling social exclusion.
If you are interested in volunteering your time for this project, please complete this online survey to provide the Roby with your contact details, indicate what areas you are interested in contributing too and they will get in touch to meet with you.
The planned launch of the Breakfast Club is 1st March 2010.
