Wood Street Mission
Wood Street Mission is a children’s charity helping children and families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford.
We offer practical help to help meet children’s day-to-day needs and improve their life chances. We provide struggling families with children’s clothes, bedding and baby equipment, and toys and books which are important for children’s wellbeing and development.
We promote engagement in education by helping families with the costs of going to school and run holiday book clubs to promote reading and improve children’s literacy. We also provide toys for children to have presents on Christmas Day.
We also raise awareness about child poverty through our communications, holding events and giving talks at schools, businesses and groups.

Wood Street Mission
Wood Street Mission helps support families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford, with practical support and services.
We can help families with children’s clothes, toys, bedding, baby equipment and toiletries through our Family Basics service, from our base here in Manchester City Centre. Families can come along to our Book Clubs, to pick up books to take home and have a fun morning together each school holiday.
Our SmartStart project can help with school uniform and other school kit, and at Christmas we can help with gifts for the children.
