Celebrating Supportability at 70 – Project Updates

10 July 2024

Did you know that the founders of Supportability purchased Granville house on Parsonage Road, Heaton Moor, for £2,200 in 1954 thanks to local community fundraising?

And we still operate out of Granville House 70 years later.

This is just one tiny part of the history we have uncovered in the last four weeks and there is still so much more to go! We have a lot of information about our heritage but there are still some gaps in our archive and we can’t fill them without your help.

This past Friday I gave a small speech to the participants of Supportability’s annual Golf Day, a fundraising event that has been running for over 30 years now. The purpose of my speech was to launch the ‘community callout campaign’ that aims to encourage insight and participation from our community.

Do you have a Supportability story to share?

Please contact me at elli.tozer@supportability.org.uk, I would love to hear your story and tell you more about this exciting project.

No amount of detail is too small.
