Clarets boss visits 'The Well' in Manchester

Manager Vincent Kompany paid a visit to the Supporting People In Need homeless shelter on Tuesday after opening a special area of the hostel during his Tackle4MCR Testimonial Season back in 2019.

Kompany went on to raise over £850,000 for Andy Burnham’s A Bed Every Night initiative, which was working to get as many homeless people off the streets and into accommodation as possible.

Supporting People In Need are a charitable organisation tackling the ongoing issue of homelessness and poverty with the aim of helping and supporting vulnerable and socially-excluded people living in poverty and rough-sleeping in the streets on Manchester.

The Burnley boss alongside Chairman Alan Pace, were invited back to see where the hostel and project is up to now and to take a look around the facility to see what progress has been made.

Kompany said: "We're here to revisit the project we started four years ago now. We raised a lot of money for it and it's a chance for me to revisit and see where it's at and where we got up to.

"I'm really pleased that the money we raised has had a long lasting affect and it's really nice to see the progress made.

"At the beginning this was a dream to just provide a roof over the head for people in need for anyone in Manchester that needed somewhere.

"All of the things we set up at the start are still there with the help from the Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham we managed to continue the project which was a bed every night.
