Lifeshare’s main activity in its 2024/25 trustees’ report is a weekend breakfast service for people experiencing homelessness. The meal offers a regular point of contact as well as food. The charity’s current service descriptions also cover people facing food poverty. S102, S130
Respite at Christmas
Lifeshare describes a five-day Christmas respite hub. This concentrated period of food and practical support sits alongside its regular breakfast work, responding to a different rhythm of need from the weekend service. S130
How the service has changed
The 2024/25 trustees’ report describes changes to the charity’s work for financial viability and a reduced focus on other streams, including digital inclusion. Older descriptions of youth programmes therefore do not establish current delivery. Breakfasts and respite are the clearest current strands in the sources reviewed. S130
Why it matters
A regular breakfast and seasonal respite offer people facing hardship two points of contact in Manchester. Food answers an immediate need, while the service setting gives the charity a way to stay connected with people. Current opening patterns and funding needs should be checked before a funding decision. S102, S130
The annual picture
The filed accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 report whole-charity income of £506,153 and expenditure of £259,963. These historical totals do not establish current cash or the cost of a particular service. S130
