£25K For 2025: MOMENTS THAT MATTER #MissionExperience
At More Than a Roof, we’re committed to more than just providing a place to stay—we want to help the people living in temporary accommodation create lasting memories. Along with offering the essential support they need to achieve independence, we also believe in providing life-enriching experiences they might not otherwise have access to.
To continue making a real impact, we have a bold goal—raising £25,000 for 2025 and we have bravely named this “Mission Experience”. So in partnership with The Housing network, we will be taking part in the Manchester Marathon on the 27th April, 2025.Through events like the Manchester Marathon and other fundraising avenues, we’re committed to making this a reality.
The joy of a family trip, a child going to the seaside for the first time, or someone taking part in an activity they’ve only ever dreamed of. These are moments that might seem small but can mean the world to those in need, giving them hope and treasured memories that last a lifetime and you can help us achieve this.

All this and more will be made available to Residents of temporary accommodation. They will be able to apply for grants to fund the small things that make a big difference…school trips, football boots, brownie uniforms, a day at the seaside…you get the picture.
Currently, the More Than A Roof team are drawing up a very simple application form and terms of reference for the grant scheme. Check back here soon and we’ll update the details of how to apply.
