Unseen Voices: Fairytales from the Edge
Showcasing the lived experiences of people in Greater Manchester who have faced homelessness, poverty, addiction and other challenges.
Join us for the premiere of Unseen Voices: Fairytales from the Edge, a film spotlighting the lived experiences of people in Greater Manchester who have faced homelessness, poverty, addiction and other challenges.
Through spoken word, poetry, film, and art, this project aims to prompt a discussion about how public services can better support those that the system calls multiple disadvantages.
As part of our Greater Manchester Strategy, we have committed to deliver and support community-led approaches, recognising that those most-affected by our services are best-placed to lead the way in shaping them, and to help our residents who need more than just everyday support to still live well.
