New home. New start.
New hope.
A hand up,
not a hand out.
Embassy is a Greater Manchester-based Christian charity that helps people break the cycle of homelessness by providing a home, skills training and wraparound support to both men and women.
Our approach is to reintegrate people back into society by helping them find work and a home of their own, reducing the pressure on local councils. We build our residents’ confidence and give them the life skills to be independent.
We’ve taken the next step with Embassy Village - a new community of 41 high quality homes in Manchester with a village hall, workshop, sports pitch, gym, beehive and green space for socialising and growing plants.
It takes a city to raise a village.
Together we can help people move from homelessness to hope.
Embassy Village is more than just buildings. It’s a community where people previously experiencing homelessness can re-build their lives with support, purpose, belonging, healing and dignity.
But a village can not thrive alone. It takes a city.

Our Projects.
We’ve run houses in Greater Manchester for both men and women, providing 3,500 hours of support each year. So far, we’ve helped over 175 people get back on their feet, living independently and in work.
Embassy Village has now been built and has significantly increased our capacity to 41 men. We’ve also opened an apartment block in Greater Manchester for women, increasing our capacity to 13 women.
Get involved.

Donations are always welcome, no matter how big or small, or whether it’s a monthly or one-off.
Regular donations are especially impactful as it means we can plan ahead knowing we’re covered.

The Moulding Foundation
The Moulding Foundation believes that everyone, regardless of their personal circumstances, deserves an education, a safe place to call home, and access to healthcare.
The Moulding Foundations has generously committed capital funds to build it as well as supporting some of the management costs of the build. Without this support Embassy would not be able to realise the vision of the Village.
Not satisfied to be just the funder, the Moulding Foundation team have joined the steering group and have become tangibly involved in our work.
