A short series exploring in just one image a day the work of the Manchester and Salford Boys’ and Girls’ Refuges and Shelter over Christmas.
The charity was formed in 1870 to give six destitute boys a night’s shelter but very quickly expanded its work to include, girls, industrial training and homes as well as helping newly released prisoners.
The full story of the charity was published earlier this year as The Ever Open Door,* and is available from The Together Trust, https://shop.togethertrust.org.uk/
Location; Manchester and Salford
