This city is more than just a destination, Manchester is a home. Manchester has a proud history of solidarity – of standing up for those who need help. From Peterloo to the Pankhursts, our city gives a voice to the voiceless. We stick together here, too – we know the power of community and know that, as Mancunians, we have far more in common with each other than that which divides us. And the Manchester of today is no exception. We are a bright, vibrant, successful city – but there are still some people who need a helping hand. 1 in 3 of our young people live in poverty. 1 in 10 residents have no qualifications.
