We are proud to announce a partnership with Embassy Village, a pioneering homeless project that will see 40 high-quality homes delivered under 20 railway arches in Castlefield, Manchester.
Led by the Embassy charity, the project aims to break the cycle of homelessness through long-term support for vulnerable residents looking to get back in to work. Built along the Bridgewater Canal in Manchester city centre, the purpose-built homes feature top-of-the-range interiors and fittings to give people a sense of home and self-worth. The village, which also features communal gardens, sports facilities and a village hall which will foster community as well as teach residents critical life skills, is set to open by the end of the year.
We have become the latest business to support the mission, with the partnership directly funding the installation of signage across the main entrance, village hall, archway blocks and front doors of the completed homes as the site comes together.
In addition, colleagues in our Manchester office will have the opportunity to volunteer at the site upon completion, supporting our responsible business objectives.
Hayley Sullivan and Stuart Evans, co-heads of our Manchester office, said: “From the moment we first heard about Embassy Village, we were blown away by the whole project and we are incredibly proud to be supporting Sid and the team. Embassy Village is the embodiment of everything that is good about Manchester and demonstrates the can-do attitude, kindness and forward thinking that the city shows on a daily basis.”
The partnership with Embassy Village is the latest show of support for good causes in the North West by our Manchester office, which this year celebrated the 15-year anniversary of in our office in the city. In addition, we also support Regeneration Brainery, a not-for-profit organisation which helps to inspire young people of all backgrounds to kickstart a career in property and regeneration, and is an official partner of The Lowry, supporting the cultural institution’s outreach programme for communities in Salford and Greater Manchester.
