The Justlife centre on Ashton Old Road describes itself: "The Justlife Health & Enterprise Centre is based in Openshaw, East Manchester, at the heart of a dense area of temporary accommodation, hostels, B&Bs, houses of multiple occupancy, bedsits and similar low-grade accommodation. Being situated on the doorstep of some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people in the city enables us to engage with, support and move on people with multiple and critical needs. The Centre provides a radical welcome to anyone who accesses our service. Taking an aspirational approach, the provision of a friendly morning drop in and weekly meals act as a means of encouraging greater engagement in our workshop programme and project work which in turn help to build build relationships, self-confidence, skills and experience. This ultimately will enable people to make a positive contribution to society through volunteering, employment or enterprise creation. The primary funder of the centre is the Big Lottery Fund, who has supported the centre since opening January 2010."
