This is the 150th anniversary of the Together Trust, which started out as the Manchester and Salford Boys' and Girls' Refuges and Homes in 1870.*
And as part of the ongoing commemorations, the Trust has created an online activity, using Facebook, to share the memories of those who were in the care of the charity.***
The event starts today and runs for the week and will be exploring their 150 year heritage and sharing stories from the archive.
They “would love to hear from anyone who has been part of the organization, from former students, care experienced persons, family members or an ancestor of a service user, along with staff volunteers, community partners, or have been involved with the charity in any way and have memories to share."
If you can’t join the Facebook conversation, you can send them a tweet, or an email by following the link.
Leaving me just to recommend their excellent blog.***
And to recommend the book commissioned by the charity to coincide with its 150th anniversary.****
