The Macari Foundation
Welcome to the Macari Centre!
The Macari Centre is committed to helping end homelessness in Stoke-on-Trent.
We strive to provide the very best care for our residents and help them to get their lives back on track.
The Macari Centre was set up in 2016 and from humble beginnings, we now provide support and accommodation to around 21 individuals, at our base on Fletcher Road, Stoke.
The Centre houses individuals in self-contained apartments, giving them an address and space of their own, and access to support from our team of trained staff, 24 hours a day.
We firmly believe that our residents are capable of change and will achieve their full potential when offered a secure, supportive, empowering and non-judgmental environment.
It is our mission to provide such an environment and help reverse the spiral of homelessness.
