422 Manchester

The 422 Community Hub is a project of Manchester Vineyard, a local church in the heart of the Longsight-Ardwick community. The 422 Hub hosts a community cafe, a variety of free programmes and spaces to hire for like-minded organisations that offer opportunities, boost well-being and tackle poverty. We acquired the 422 building through a Community Asset Transfer with Manchester City Council and began renovating it in 2019. In August 2021 we opened the 422 Cafe through the generous support of many individuals, grant-making bodies, institutions and businesses. Since then, more of the building has opened up and is providing transformative opportunities and programmes.
