The Pankhurst

The Pankhurst "Deeds not words" 62 Nelson Street, Manchester, the birthplace of the Suffragette movement, is now the Pankhurst Centre. Entry is free.
(2)

The Centre houses a small museum and heritage centre that remains as a legacy to the Pankhurst family and the Suffragette movement, and also serves as a women’s community centre. This historically significant building was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her family who led the Suffragette campaign for Votes for Women, and is the place where the first meeting of the Women’s Social and Political U

nion was held.The heritage centre has information about the Pankhursts and the Suffragette movement. This is open to the general public on Thursdays from 11am - 4pm. As a women’s community centre it provides and offers space for activities and events run by women, for women. It offers a unique place in which women can learn together, work on projects and socialise. It is a vibrant centre that hosts a number of women’s organisations and projects that support women, thus continuing the struggle that the Suffragettes began, fighting for women’s rights, all those years ago.

Maud Joachim was arrested in Dundee in 1909, along with Adela Pankhurst and others. She went on hunger strike in prison and was awarded this medal by the WSPU. It would be amazing if Glasgow Women's Library could raise enough money to secure such a significant piece for their collection.

Our Story

60-62 Nelson Street, Manchester was the birthplace of the suffragette movement, and now houses a small museum, heritage centre and women’s service. 62 Nelson Street was the home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her family; it was in the parlour of this house that the Women’s Social and Political Union - the campaign for Votes for Women that became known as the suffragettes - began. The museum and heritage centre is open to the public on Thursdays from 10am-4pm, and on the second and fourth Sunday of the month, from 1-4pm. We think everyone should have access to this important place, so work hard to ensure entry remains free.

The Pankhurst Centre is the headquarters of Manchester Women’s Aid, which provides advice and support to those experiencing domestic violence and abuse. The Centre also provides space for other services, activities and events run by women; we host a number of women’s organisations and projects that support women, and continue to fight for women’s rights today, as the suffragettes did all those years ago.

At Grafton Street, we decided to donate hamper baskets to some of the Women who are making a positive difference around the Manchester area🦋

In the first pic, we donated a gift card, chocolate and lots of biscuits to the women who attend The Pankhurst centre!

The second and third pictures are of Becky who works for Feedo Needo and Daryl from Street Treats. Both deliver food to the homeless and those who are struggling through hard times.

They all put in so much hard work everyday of the year helping so many people, they all deserve a nice treat💕💕😽



Four years ago we supported the The Pankhurst to put on a screening of Suffragette at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester.

This event took place on , 100 years on from when the first women were given the vote.

The event raised valuable funds for the Pankhurst Centre - a world leading museum which tells the stories of women who fought for the vote!

Here’s a few memories of this fantastic event, which even saw us featured in Vogue magazine 💜
