The south Manchester sanctuary that's keeping homeless young women safe this Christmas
Nestled away in the leafy streets of Whalley Range is a peaceful oasis. A burst of warmth hits you as you walk in, and the house twinkles with festive decorations.
The series, filmed in Bolton, follows Alma as she tries to reconcile the strained relationships of her family that saw her spend time in the care system. "I feel very honoured to be their Patron and look forward to working with the young women and staff at this amazing place" Women from all over Greater Manchester are referred to the hostel, and have to prove they are remaining in education, are in work or are undertaking apprenticeships to keep their place.
"We like to encourage that they don’t spend more than three nights out a week but they are allowed to sleep over at friend’s houses. The idea is that they check in with us."
