If you’ve ever cared about Manchester and the people who made this fantastic City all that it is. If Manchester is more to you than just a word, then please donate to this cause. Ancoats Dispensary is awaiting the bulldozers, the last of 19 listed buildings that stood on the site. We the people of the Heartlands have stood 80 days in all weathers defying them.
