Support Writing on the Wall in Manchester!

Writing on the Wall is a free publication which was started in late 2020 by the guides, staff and volunteers at Invisible (Manchester).

We encourage people who have experienced homelessness to express their creativity and own experiences through storytelling, drawing, photography, poetry and other forms of creative writing.

In addition to showcasing creative submissions from the community, each issue contains practical information about different organisations that can help those currently experiencing homelessness. You can read the latest issue here: https://wotwonline.co.uk

Since re-launching Writing on the Wall in spring 2022, we’ve been able to create a website for digital access, increase the number of submissions used per issue, run outreach workshops with partner organisations, and distribute more physical copies to more spaces in Manchester.

We want to continue doing this and we need your support to keep putting together issues and sharing this valuable resource with our community.

Any donation you make will be really appreciated and go towards

Staffing costs to run the project, including the Writing on the Wall coordinator’s wage, who is someone who has experienced homelessness himself.

If you’d like to collaborate with us on a longer-term basis, either to keep this project going or in another capacity, we’d love to hear from you!
