As you may have heard the Manchester Basement Social Centre has suffered water and smoke damage from a massive fire in the building next door.

You can see some images of the fire of our emergency recovery website:

We have been able to get into the building briefly and it is pretty wet and smelly. But the good news is that with about a good week of work we can be up and running. The art work from the Mutant media festival is not damaged!!

We don't know when we will be getting back into the basement as the building next door is being demolished. But we do know that we need your help!!

If you can help please sign up as a volunteer to our emergency recovery website and leave your email and phone number.

Even if you are a regular volunteer please sign up again as our volunteer records are out of date.
