42Nd Street Charity

42nd Street supports young people aged 11-25 years with their emotional wellbeing and mental health, promoting choice and creativity. We champion young person centred approaches that demonstrate local impact and have national significance. We offer a range of individual therapeutic support and encourage and support young people to have a voice, and access opportunities to learn, develop new skills, be creative, have fun and demonstrate to themselves and others that they are able to recover, manage their mental health and wellbeing and achieve their full potential. We deliver services at our Manchester city centre base, in community venues, arts and cultural centres, and in schools and colleges to make sure our services are accessible. We also have our own dedicated creative venue The Horsfall which is an exciting new venue and programme of creative events that builds on 42nd Street’s trusted and innovative approach to improving young people’s mental health. We have taken inspiration for this project from Thomas Horsfall and his Ancoats Art Museum; a unique social and artistic experiment established in Ancoats, Manchester at the end of the 19th Century.
