New location...and our meeting this week

We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 13th July at Manchester Carers Centre - usual start time of 6 but with a slightly earlier finish of 7:30. But one thing has changed...Manchester Carers Centre has moved to a beautiful new building, just slightly further up the road. 

Bridge 5 Mill already hosts other third sector organisations and is also Manchester's most sustainable conference venue. It's easy to get to from the city centre being only 5 minutes walk from Holt Town metrolink stop. There is parking on most streets around the Mill. 

Directions for travelling by tram, on foot, by bike, bus and car are all available on the Bridge 5 Mill website. If you were familiar with Manchester Carers Centre's previous location at Vulcan Mill, the new venue is a 10 minute walk further up Pollard Street, then a left turn onto Beswick St: Bridge 5 Mill is then about 1 minute's walk down Beswick St, on your left.

We'll be starting the meeting with a cuppa and a biscuit and hopefully a bit of a nosey round the new building! Hope to see you there.
