StandUP is an app that helps young people get back on their feet. You buy a coffee, a meal or a shower. A young person verified by a charity collects it at a café around the corner with a QR code. No cash, no stigma, every gift tracked.

Job support
Every night young people in Manchester sleep somewhere unsafe. Most people want to help, but cash feels risky and donations feel distant. We built StandUP so anyone can give something real, today, around the corner, and see exactly where it went.
How it works
One app. Three people.

A young person collects
Young people verified by a partner charity see free gifts on a map near them, claim one and get a QR code. No cash ever changes hands.

A local partner hands it over
The café, barber or day centre scans the code and serves the gift. They are paid for every gift collected, and you see that yours made it.
Why StandUP
Giving that feels good
Giving that feels good
and actually works.
No cash, ever
You give a real thing, not money. It can only be used for what you chose.
Verified by charities
Young people join through a partner charity, so gifts reach the people they are for.
Help around the corner
Gifts are collected at local cafés, barbers and day centres, so help is a short walk away.
See your impact
Know when your gift is collected, and where. Thank-you notes come straight back to you.
A hot meal and a shower sound small. On the street, they are the difference between giving up and getting up. Why we started StandUP
