At Manna House we are very aware that February can be a cold difficult time, especially for anyone sleeping rough. But it is a time of growth and renewal - and that is a focus of what we are trying to do at Manna House. Our wonderful team of staff and volunteers work with clients who are struggling with housing and other difficulties. Always we are looking to help them find a way forward - growth and renewal amidst their challenging problems. Every human being is capable of great beauty, and it is a mark of the amazing people we have at Manna House that they do find so many ways to help our clients achieve renewal and positive outcomes and even to blossom and flourish.
This Winter, Kendal has so many places you can go and keep warm and connected.

These are places that are warm and friendly where everyone is welcome and no one is judged


Poverty just loves to destroy lives. It breaks families apart, isolates people from friends and family, shatters confidence and drives many to think that suicide is the only way out.UK poverty is real, with millions locked in its miserable grip. We’re not prepared to sit back and let it wreak havoc across Kendal and District.
In a just and compassionate society, no one should be trapped in their home, afraid to open the door or answer the phone. No one should wake up wondering where they’ll find the money to feed their children or heat their home. No one should have to be alone, especially when times are tough. We’d like to recognise other organisations that are supporting those in debt in the Kendal and District area such as Age UK, Citizen’s Advice and Kendal Food Bank.
That’s why we are partnering with Christian Against Poverty (CAP), as this is a mission. To restore hope for those who are lost and hurting. In partnership with our incredible partner churches across Kendal – we ultimately want to bring life-changing freedom and Good News to people in desperate need.
