Music legend Clint Boon has opened the Lifeshare Christmas Project, helping Manchester’s homeless and those in crisis - describing the work they do as "vital."
The Inspiral Carpets frontman is back recording and gigging again after a six year hiatus since the tragic death of the band's 44-year-old drummer Craig. He went along to open the project at Vinci Construction and said he hoped the initiative would inspire people to transform empty places in to venues to help people struggling.
From today, (December 23) to December 29, the New Victoria development, close to Victoria Station has thrown open its doors and will continue to do so on a daily basis to offer hot food, company, showers, health support, clothing, games and entertainment to anyone who needs it. People do not need to be homeless, it is open to anyone over 18-years-old.
