Info

Cath Hall, an experienced foster carer, was involved in Manchester's LGBT youth group where she became acutely aware of the rejection & ejection of young LGBT people from their family home & the homophobia they faced within school and society.

In 1989 Cath Hall responded to this crisis by setting up a supported lodgings service for LGBT young people with the support of Hugh Fell, Manchester City Council and other key members of the Manchester LGBT community.

Also in 1989, 16 year old Albert Kennedy fell to his death from the top of a car park in Manchester whilst trying to escape from a group of homophobic bullies pursuing him in a car. Albert was a runaway from a children's home and was suffering depression. In his short life he had experienced rejection and abuse from society.
