Christian Restoration Manchester (CRM) is a Christian Charity that shares the love of Jesus Christ in words and action. For the last fifteen years, we have been supporting our community here in Higher Blackley and other areas in Greater Manchester.
—--- What we do ---—
We're a faith-rooted community offering worship, pastoral care and mental-health support; practical help through our drop-in café and food bank; community building with free football and music lessons; and protective education via knife-crime, county-lines and hate-crime awareness.
Our Stories
Hear from real people whose lives have been touched by our community programs
Marcus Thompson
Youth Mentor
"I came to the community football program feeling lost and angry. Through the coaches and volunteers here, I found purpose and hope. Now I'm helping other young people find their way too."
Sarah Johnson
Workshop Leader
"The creative mission workshops didn't just teach me new skills - they gave me confidence I never knew I had. From being too shy to speak up, I'm now leading my own community group."
David Martinez
Business Owner
"The prison enterprise program gave me more than job skills - it gave me back my dignity. Today, I own my own small business and can finally provide for my family again."
Emma Williams
Community Volunteer
"When my family hit hard times, this community became our lifeline. The support we received wasn't just practical - it restored our faith in humanity and showed us we weren't alone."
James Chen
Program Coordinator
"What started as receiving help from the foodbank became a calling to serve. I've seen firsthand how this place transforms not just circumstances, but hearts and hope."
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”- 2 Corinthians 5:17

Volunteer with Us
Volunteering is such a great way to get stuck into the mission and be part of sharing the love of Jesus in word and deed. We have lots of opportunities for you to get involved into. We couldn't do the front-line outreach in our community across North Manchester and beyond without our incredible volunteers.
Give
Help us to transform lives. By giving to Christian Restoration Manchester you'll make it possible for young people to access football each week, struggling families will be fed, and many people will be reached in the community with the gospel.
