Workhouse Project is a community group interested in fostering social cohesion and inclusion amongst people of all ages, social groups, and with all types of skills. Focusing on the south-central area of Manchester, this project is envisioned by community members for community members. Through different strategies, it aims to nurture new forms of cooperative self-management and community engagement, to ultimately help create resilient and self-sufficient communities. As well as providing opportunities for those in need.
This project is conceived and coordinated by the Workhouse Project. Throughout Hulme and Moss Side there have been identified three vacant lots that could be used as activity centers serving families in the area. The main objective is to provide a space where residents can meet, share and learn skills through group-based activities. Seeking to build a more cohesive, innovative, and resilient community. It is expected to be developed in different stages.
