The Basement at 24 lever Street is still unsafe (and somewhat minging) after the fire last year. At the last collective meeting consensus was we want a social centre back in manchester and we are aiming to move back to the refurbished and fully accessible premises as soon as we can. We have won the legal dispute with the landlord re: tenancy issues (for full minutes of the meeting please email mustsocial@yahoo.co.uk)

sorry this site hasn't been updated much, that's mostly because things have been going on behind the scenes at a very frustrating pace and we've been mired in a world of tenancy rights and roof repairs.

however, many people remain positive and commited to the idea of a social centre in manchester and now, finally, we will know what is happening to 24 lever street and when / how / if we will be moving back in.

come along and find out the latest - and get involved in our resurrection - at a meeting next monday

• Start somewhere new and build on what the basement achieved
• Renegotiate the deal at Lever Street (probably; we are taking legal advice)
• Give up on the idea of a Manchester social centre
• Do something else!

The Basement is a social centre in Central Manchester with a vegan cafe, library, bookshop, computer hub, meeting venue and exhibition space.
The Basement is a place for all those who are sick of Manchester's polluted streets and corporate takeover, angered by wars, environmental damge, animal abuse and mainstream media lies. People who want to turn the world upside down to start making things better.
