I spent some time taking photos at the Booth Centre today, a drop-in centre for homeless or vulnerably housed adults in Manchester. It’s a great little place hidden away beneath the city’s cathedral, which puts on loads of activities from singing to cooking, gardening and museum visits. Users get qualifications for completing the various courses and the idea is to move them on from their often chaotic lifestyles to a more stable point in life. The Booth Centre marks its 15th anniversary this year and I have been given the green light to spend as much time as I want there over the coming weeks, documenting what they do and hopefully getting to know some of its characters. This week staff and a small group of users have been redecorating the centre but I’ll be spending some more time there once it opens again after Easter.
