A HOUSING charity for vulnerable resident, which is based on Winwick Quay, has launched a new app.

Fortunatus Housing Solutions, a registered charity housing vulnerable adults in the north west, held a launch event on Friday, May 1, for the launch of their app Engage, which was developed in conjunction with Capita Software Services.

The launch day also focused on their Unity Lottery to raise awareness and donations to support their tenants living with mental illness and learning disabilities.

The app will provide information about local news, events, ways to donate and signposting to other support agencies.

The Unity Lottery is a national lottery which helps charities raise money for their activities, as well as giving the person playing the lottery a chance to win.

The app Engage is available to download via the App Store and Google play.
