MancSpirit is Greater Manchester’s Mental Wellbeing Charity
Supporting the Mental Wellbeing of ICU Nurses & Staff at Wigan Critical Care. The MancSpirit “Behind Closed Doors” Exhibition

If you want an example of how MancSpirit works in practice then please listen to our podcast and read about our work supporting NHS staff at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Trust.
The exhibition and event we held in Manchester Central Library and at Wigan Life Centre, supporting staff, patients that had recovered from being intubated and the loved ones of those who passed away during the pandemic was incredible and far surpassed the outcomes we envisioned to give Our amazing NHS heroes an opportunity to show the love, commitment and determination behind the masks when the pandemic first hit!
Supporting the Mental Wellbeing of Trafford Young Carers during the Pandemic

It was a real honour to be able to inspire and support Trafford young carers, while they were stuck in at home shielding and looking after vulnerable family members.
The online sessions, delivered throughout the first year of the pandemic and several lockdowns, gave them access to fun, creativity, respite and the opportunity to connect with other young carers in their area. We provided a mix of art, crafts, music, comedy, improvisation and some really special guests from Children’s TV and pop music. The laughter and energy was intoxicating and the feedback from their families that they had transmitted that from the sessions and into their homes was heartwarming!
