Our Homelessness Partnership is a forum of multiple organisations who deliver services to the homeless community, including partners from statutory and the faith and voluntary sectors.
Homelessness is not just a problem for statutory services like our council, but for all services and the community.

Partnership pledge
We pledge that we will work to improve outcomes for homeless people in Bury by ensuring timely and fair assessments, robust pathways, high quality housing provisions, aspirational exit strategies and continued wrap around support.
Partnership values
We believe that everyone who is homeless or at risk of homelessness should have a right to:
- a safe secure home, along with an appropriate level of support to create a good quality of life
- safety from violence, abuse, theft and discrimination, and the full protection of the law
- respect and a good standard of service everywhere
- equality of access to information and services
- equality of information to employment, training, volunteering, leisure and creative activities.
We believe that those who work with people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness have a collective responsibility to ensure that:
- good communication, coordination and a consistent approach is delivered across all services
- people with experience of homelessness have a voice and are involved in designing the services aimed at helping them and others.
