Working with homeless people and those in need
We believe that regardless of situation and circumstance, everyone deserves a safe space and to be treated with dignity. Since we opened in 1982, the Manna Centre has provided practical and emotional care to the community, based near London Bridge. Manna is a space open to everyone. You can access a hot meal, showers, clothing supplies, computers, phone charging and nurse and chiropody care. We offer housing and welfare advice, supporting with homelessness, benefits, employment, debt, income maximisation, and links to specialised support for immigration and substance misuse.
Over 120 meals served a day
Up to 55 clients seen each week for advice
75 housing placements made in 2025
The Manna Centre has staff who are very warm and welcoming people. They demonstrate an active, obvious Vocational Approach and intention in the work they do there.
