The Ever Open Door: 150 Years of the Together Trust
It is our delight to announce the release of The Ever Open Door: 150 Years of the Together Trust. Andrew Simpson, Chorlton-based local historian, has delved into the charity's vast archive to bring together the history of the Together Trust. The book covers all aspects of the charity's work and services – from emigration and summer camps, to our Bethesda service and Inscape House School.
The cover boasts the work of Liz Ackerley Art, who we were proud to commission to create this striking reinterpretation of the Children's Shelter, breathing new life into one of our former homes.
From the bleak Victorian streets of Manchester, whence Leonard Kilbee Shaw and Richard Bramwell Taylor were moved to open a 'Night Refuge for Homeless Boys', to the bright and brilliant Bridge College, this is a story of life changing proportion.
For those who hold a Manchester Library card, we are pleased to announce that the book can now be reserved for loan or reference reading at Manchester Central Library.
