Home from HOME
Our community programme Home from HOME delivers long-term creative projects with young people and adults within community settings across Manchester. Working closely with housing associations, grass roots and third-sector organisations to ensure that our work reaches communities that may not have a high level of cultural activity. Through our projects we want to improve health and wellbeing, reduce isolation and promote access to art and culture. We strive to build long-term relationships with our local communities and co-create work that authentically tells their stories and amplifies their voices. Throughout the year their work is shared within community venues and at HOME, and our Home from HOME groups decide what they want to see within their communities.
Home from HOME delivers activity in Gorton, Hulme, Moss Side, Wythenshawe and North Manchester.
