Community Programme at Manor House Lodge - from October
This Autumn join us for yoga, art, gardening, music, community meals or just to chill! The programmes will open from the week of the 9th October running every Tuesday and Thursday until the week of 13th November.
MoH is led by people with experience of homelessness. We make art, collect the history of homelessness, campaign for change and provide practical support to the community. We are opening the world’s first Museum of Homelessness at Manor House Lodge to the public in Spring 2024.
But first, we are running activity on the site for our community. If you have been homeless or are experiencing homelessness or housing problems, come and get involved! (BTW we mean all types of homelessness: street homelessness, temporary accommodation, emergency accommodation, squatting etc)
No booking will be required, just turn up!
The Lodge is accessible and has an accessible toilet, quiet space and ramps. If you have any specific requirements please get in touch with nathan@museumofhomelessness.org
