    Talking Homelessness with Embassy

    For our final episode of the series, we’re going to be tackling the important issue of homelesss-ness with partners Sid & Em from the incredible charity; Embassy. Manchester ranks third highest in the country for people experiencing homelessness, with one in 74 people experiencing being homeless during their lives. Together we will learn about how this charity is creating Embassy Village, offering vital support, and how Coldplay’s tour bus played a pivotal part in that journey. With Winter and Christmas around the corner it feels especially relevant to recognise the crisis in this country and talk about the ways we can support the more vulnerable members of our community.
