All

All over Manchester there are individuals, groups and voluntary organisations who are bringing their neighbourhoods together and making a big difference to community life.

Young and old are working together - indoors and outdoors - on local projects, large and small. They're continuing week in week out, providing vital support, giving their time, giving their skills or just their energy. Their projects are taking shape, growing, making real improvements and inspiring others to get involved too.

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid) (PTMWA) is a women’s led organisation whose vision is to ensure that people, suffering, or at risk of, domestic abuse receive appropriate support. They deliver services from their base at the Pankhurst Centre, the former home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters and the birthplace of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) and the Suffragette movement.

Interested in advice work?
With the Manchester Volunteer Advice Project you can volunteer in five advice services who work with members of the community – Cheetham Hill Advice Centre, Manchester Mind, the Manchester Refugee Support Network, the Young People’s Support Foundation and the Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit.

They help with a range of issues including immigration, debt, consumer, housing and welfare benefits.
