We know, we've posted a lot about fundraising recently but this is why. 💚 Communities make the world go round 💚 It's the individuals in businesses that champion giving 💚 We want to give our guides the best possible chances because they are truly incredible 💚 If we don't keep shouting, we can't help to end homelessness Today we want to share some highlights from the recent Travolution.com awards - a perfect example of people seeing the work we do and being incredibly generous in their support. If you can help us fundraise and support our 2025 efforts to help more people out of homelessness and into positive employment, we will love you even more than we already do. https://lnkd.in/ehP5yPDc Please do spread the word too - it's equally as important. #darkerdaysbrighterfutures #travolution #traveltrade #socialenterprise #homelessness #fundraising

This week we were joined by Sky News in Manchester to film a guide training session and interview our team about what we do and why. We are so determined that next year we will be able to help more and more people looking for positive and meaningful routes out of homelessness - and becoming an Invisible Cities walking tour guide can be an incredible opportunity. For people who love telling stories, want to grow their confidence and share the history of their city and their own experiences, we offer an opportunity that's quite unique. Showcasing that with someone like Sky News is just unbelievable for us and helps us to find partners, supporters and guides. A huge thank you to Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel for hosting us in their stunning Garden View Suite. They're all decked out for Christmas and the whole hotel looks absolutely beautiful. They've even won a prestigious Conference & Events award for their services at the hotel. #skynews #guidetraining #doingtourismdifferently #manchester #mercuremanchester

You folks are so wonderfully generous - we've now got a stretch target!! Please do keep donating, as it will transform the lives of so many people who really want to find positive employment to end their experiences with homelessness. Our Darker Days campaign launched on November 21st and we've already raised an incredible £5290!! https://lnkd.in/eYtbb9n9 THANK YOU!!! Here's a message from Nic, one of our Manchester guides... #darkerdaysbrighterfutures #doingtourismdifferently #homelessness #socialenterprise #darkerdays

Did you know that this Christmas you can gift a tour to a colleague, friend or loved one? Last year hundreds of people chose our vouchers to give to someone, or chose something from our shop like this map of Nic's Manchester tour, our card game or poetry book. As we head into the festive season, think about the people you know who are impossible to buy for. And, gifting a tour can be a life changing experience for people, communities, and our guides for as little as £10.
