An occasional series featuring a comment from someone about the twin cities.
“Manchester has many glories but none I venture to think which shine brighter or reflect more completely on the city’s best self than the Refuges and Homes” The Right Rev F.T. Wood 1920
The Manchester and Salford Boys’ and Girls’s Refuges and Shelters began in 1870, offering young homeless boys and bed and a meal for the night.*
It quickly expanded its activities to include homes for girls and boys, provided vocational training, migrated some to Canada as well as offering summer camps, and campaigned for the rights of children.
In 1920 it moved out to Cheadle from where as the Together Trust it still works today.**
The comment was supplied by the archivist of the Together Trust.
