WHAT WE DOWHAT WE DO

MERCi runs many projects that are helping to deliver a sustainable future. We began by buying a semi-derelict silk mill in Ancoats and restoring it into Bridge 5 Mill. The Mill now hosts other organisations working for sustainability and social justice and is also Manchester's most sustainable conference venue.
