Story
On Friday 13th March 2020, 5 of the DGA team are taking part in the first ever Embassy Bus Pull Challenge.!!!
We are hoping to pull the 17.5 tonne bus over 40 metres in the quickest time and raise money for the Homeless in the process.
The Embassy Bus has the capacity to reduce the number of homeless people sleeping on the streets of Manchester by using their ex-tour bus that was once used by Snow Patrol and Coldplay. The aim is to keep homeless people safe, help them re-engage with the re-housing process, connect them to jobs and provide support so they’re not isolated once re-housed. In 2019, Embassy were able to provide over 4000 nights off the street per year and they need us to continue to do this in 2020! By taking part in the Embassy Bus Pull challenge, we are doing so much more than just giving our spare change or buying a sandwich, we are giving the homeless hope.
Thanks so much for your support!
Embassy
Restoration starting with rest:
We are a Christian charity in Greater Manchester that restores the lives of homeless people by helping them off the street into work and a home.
Launched in 2019, Embassy used a re-purposed tour bus to provide emergency shelter and support to vulnerable adults, however we've reinvented what we do because of covid closing UK shelters.
We now rent 3 houses, providing 11 residents at a time with their own room - something many have dreamed of for a long time. Our 4 resettlement workers teach them to budget, shop and cook whilst mentoring, discipling and guiding them through a recovery course. We then aim to find them employment through our corporate partners and we find and help them sustain permanent accommodation with aftercare, with no need for council housing or benefits.
If you share our vision of displaying Jesus' love by providing a community, job and home so our residents can make a fresh start, please support us by making a donation. Thank you.
