The Future of the St Thomas Centre is Secured

We are pleased to say that the St Thomas Centre in Ardwick will continue to serve as a vital hub for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Greater Manchester. Following the closure of GMCVO, we can now announce that agreement has been reached for Macc to take over responsibility for the Centre, safeguarding this important resource for our sector.

Voices of Resilience

Disability and Development Partners (DDP) has been working with partners in least developed countries for over 30 years, facilitating positive change for marginalized communities. The Voices of Resilience project, developed in response to a 2023 survey by Rainbow Disability Nepal (RDN), addresses the struggles faced by queer disabled people in Kathmandu. The survey revealed that these individuals face challenges in establishing a recognised social identity, compounded by stigma and discrimination that limits their social, emotional, and economic opportunities.
