Manchester shows strength in unity as public offer shelter using #roomsformanchester hashtag

#Roomsformanchester

Manchester is doing itself proud.

There have been all sorts of reports circulating on social media. Some are true, but many others are either irresponsibly false or shamefully invented. As the details continue to remain sketchy about what exactly happened during a ‘serious incident’ at Manchester Arena on Monday night, there have been far too many people confusing matters with uneducated guesses or fabrications.

If such situations bring out the worst traits in some people, they also bring out the very best in others. Manchester is known to be a robust, confident and caring city, and that has been exemplified by the #roomsformanchester hashtag. Local members of the public have been offering up their living spaces for those affected by the fatal incident.

It’s a desperate situation, but nevertheless it is heartwarming to see people being so generous to complete strangers in need. If you or someone you know have been affected, here are some people who are willing to provide support and shelter. We’ll endeavour to refresh the list through the night:
