In 2014 The Pankhurst Trust and Manchester Women’s Aid merged to form one charity The Pankhurst Trust with the joint purpose of fighting for gender equality, ending violence against women and girls and celebrating the birthplace of the Suffragette movement.
As well as the Heritage Museum we also support women who have left, want to leave or whom are in the process of leaving an abusive relationship
The Pankhurst Centre museum is open to the public every Thursday and on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.
We offer pre-booked group tours on Tuesday afternoons.
Volunteering is a great way to support us. Our team is constantly growing and we welcome applications from applicants of all ages, backgrounds and levels of experience from novice to expert!
Our Volunteers are smashing (and not just the Patriarchy!) and help to share the history and legacy of the suffragette movement, and support women with services from housing to counselling.
Our roles range from helping to welcome visitors to the museum, helping with our women’s drop in service, supporting group counselling, helping out behind the scenes and beyond…!
