If care and support is our core currency, where did it all go wrong? Have budgets, by-laws and Government policies taken our eye off the true prize? 

 

Mike Garry is a Manchester-based poet who wrote "Traders" after working with North West housing provider Calico Group in a series of their rehabs and womens’ refuges. 

 

In this powerful live performance incorporating video footage of resident voices, "Traders" calls upon people and organisations to reflect on their purpose and values. What we do matters. At the core is a reminder that we are here for our tenants, and never have they needed us more.
