Construction is officially complete at Embassy Village Manchester - the UK’s first‑of‑its‑kind community supporting people out of homelessness.
What began as a bold idea has become a transformational new neighbourhood beneath 22 reimagined railway arches in Castlefield, Manchester.
Built on land provided by
@peelwaters and delivered through an extraordinary pro‑bono collaboration of 130+ businesses,
@embassyvillagemcr now offers:
🏠 40 fully furnished homes
⚽️ A village hall, multi‑use sports area + allotments
🌱 Over 1,800 newly planted shrubs and flowers
🤝 Dedicated wrap‑around support to help residents rebuild their lives
This week, more than 200 guests joined us for the official opening - a celebration of the partners, volunteers and supporters who made this vision possible. From a locally commissioned graffiti wall honouring all 130+ contributors, live music, speeches, incredible locally sourced food provided by
@thermegroup to guests, it was a truly special day for the whole city.
Residents will begin moving in from mid‑March, marking the start of brighter chapters ahead.
While construction is complete, the journey doesn’t end here. The first residents are set to move in mid-March and so Embassy is actively fundraising to support ongoing staffing, training and life‑changing services - the essential wrap‑around care that empowers residents to thrive long‑term.
