Legacy
Each month as part of our Social Clubs programme, a group goes on a 'Back to Work' Business Trip to visit one of the organisations that make up Manchester’s diverse workforce.... hear about some of the highlights in our new blog.
Summerleigh first got involved with Manchester Cares back in August 2018, and since then has supported the network in more ways than one! From her friendship with Gloria as part of our Love Your Neighbour programme, to supporting the network by rallying her workplace together, and helping our outreach team to deliver warm items to older neighbours in Hulme and Longsight, there has been no end to her warmth and generosity. We interviewed Summer to find out what she’s enjoyed and gained from being part of the network.
Thomas got involved with Manchester Cares at the very beginning. So as Manchester Cares turns one, he wanted to share what the community means to him, and some of the stories from his life that he's loved sharing with his younger neighbours over the last year.
