Mancunian Way Information:
Mancunian Way charity supports and engages disenfranchised young people who are at risk of becoming involved in crime and anti-social behaviour, as well as putting themselves at risk by making poor choices. We build relationships with young people, listen to their concerns and worries, offer support and signpost to relevant services. And ultimately give them the confidence and tools they need to make positive informed choices that improve their own life outcomes now and into the future. We work at the times of greatest need, in the neighbourhoods of greatest need, with the young people in greatest need. This isn’t easy work. Young people do not usually want to be engaged, are suspicious of new faces and many feel life has let them down. We purposely seek out these young people.
