There is something brewing. Plans are underway to bring back a much needed Social Centre to Manchester. But to make this dream a reality they need your help. Find out more here...

This is what they have to say... "There has been a growing need for a radical community hub in the years since Manchester’s last Social Centre, The Basement, was closed due to flooding. As the editor of the news sheet Manchester Climate Fortnightly wrote, “There has been a Basement-shaped hole in Manchester’s activism since 2007”.

A group of us hope to meet this need by renting a building in central or south Manchester and turning it into a new social centre. We want to create a hub for community activity, enabling existing groups to hold meetings and events at low cost, share resources and form links with other groups, and providing an accessible means for others to become involved with these groups" 

We want a place to host (amongst other things) live music events, cheap brews, and a radical library. All profit will be directed back into the project, it will be volunteer run, and organised along anarchist principles of mutual aid, without leaders and hierarchy! We are currently fundraising and we hope to be in a place within the next few months.

Sounds great to me, head over here to help them out - http://www.manchestersocialcentre.org/donate/
