Who we are:

Our mission is to inspire, empower and connect leaders to reach their full potential, amplify emerging voices in decision-making, and positively shape their communities and the world.

The Manchester Hub started in January 2020 with the aim to create a community that is focused on making a positive social impact and supporting each other through those journeys. Since then, we have created projects through collective action and community outreach that contribute to the local economy, social and digital inclusion and climate change.
