We really do!
We employ people who have experienced homelessness as walking tour guides in Manchester.

Would you, your employer or someone you know, enjoy helping a local social enterprise?

😊 Just £60 allows us to run community tours for people who will benefit from exploring our city
😊 £150 would make a huge difference to the training and support we provide for our walking tour guides.
😊 Regular donations of coffee vouchers allow us to add value to customers on our tours and introduce your venue
😊 Your suggestions for how we can work together are invaluable.

We can't wait to hear from you, please come and be a part of our brilliant work.

We've been out and about!
Today we went to see and the incredible support they offer to the hundreds of people who come through their doors every single day. Some in need of a meal, others support with accomodation, and many in need of a friendly face.
Their art room really inspired us - art creates a level between anyone on the planet and we love that.
Thanks for welcoming us and we look forward to the team coming on a tour soon!

Today is a great day to talk about our free community tours, funded by our partners.

Community tours are reserved for groups and individuals who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford our access a tour but would benefit from the local orientation, connecting with like-minded people or simply the chance to get to know people locally.

So as today is International Tourist Guide Day, we're here to say thank you to those who make our community tours possible, and hello to those who would benefit from coming along to one in our cities.

Did you know that Angel Meadow in Manchester, a quiet open space surrounded by new luxury flats and high rise buildings, was once the site of the most dangerous and terrifying slum of the industrial revolution?

Our tours are different. The history of our city told by our guides brings together historical moments and changes with their own life stories.

"I had goosebumps" - Catherine.

Catherine has been out and about with Manchester guide Ste, taking in some of the social history of the city and WOW there are some incredible stories to be heard from the industrial revolution to the present day ..

If you're looking for a different way to see a city and hear about it's heritage then you're going to want to come on a tour ...

🚨WE ARE TAKING A BREAK🚨

Just like last year, we’re taking the week off to recharge😊

As a team we’ve been working really hard with tours & behind the scenes. Here’s your reminder to take some time for yourself if you need it!

We’ll be out of office from the 14th to the 20th of November (so no tours will run). But will be back on the 21st feeling refreshed & ready to go.

Something a little different…

This morning, Ellen, Mooch & Lauren are at the GM Homelessness Action Network event 💚

Today’s focus is on improving employment, training & education for people experiencing homelessness.

Alongside delivering tours, our team collaborate with the wider homelessness eco-system in our city…

… to learn, grow & work together to better support people affected by homelessness. 🐝

“Look this aint it proper good?!” - Andy about his article (link in bio)

📸

27/10/2022

is almost over & have highlighted some shocking statistics which we’ve re-shared below…

❗️According to - Black people are disproportionately affected by homelessness

❗️1 in 23 Black households become homeless (or are threatened with homelessness)

❗️For comparison, the stats are 1 in 83 households from all other ethnicities combined

So as this awareness month draws to a close, we all need to take the things we’ve learnt & use our knowledge to do better.
