First look inside The Proud Place - the GOLDEN £2.4m LGBTQ+ space in the heart of the city centre
A brand new £2.4million centre in Manchester aimed at providing LGBTQ+ people with community groups and support workers has opened.
The Proud Place on Sydney Street in the city centre is a state-of-the-art, purpose-built centre from LGBT+ youth charity The Proud Trust.
