Postponed in 2022, this FREE Manchester event consisting of a 3-course meal and varied beverages, pamper zones, arts & wellbeing stalls, resident DJ and local performing artists; has now been rescheduled for 27 May 2023.

This family-only event is essentially all about respite, entertainment, fun and pampering.

The event is the second of three previously funded (pre-pandemic) by The Edge Fund. The hugely successful first event, Looking Back : Moving Forward, was held in Central Birmingham in September 2021 coinciding with the eighteenth anniversary of Mikey Powell's death.

This event will also acknowledge the sixth anniversary of the tragedy and the victims of the Grenfell fire in London. The event attendees will mark a 72 second silence in remembrance of each of the victims.

This event is being delivered in association with 4WardEverUK and Migrant Media, and is also supported by Naphtali Associates and Catalyst 4 Change CIC.
