Paul Martin O.B.E got his start in business with the help of Lesbian and Gay Youth Manchester, Cllr Paul Fairweather used to be a volunteer there. It was purpose built specifically for the LGBT residents of Manchester over 25 years ago and is still the home of many LGBT social and support groups. Unfortunately it's not included on the tour, which focuses on the centre of the city (I suspect because it would add too much distance to the tour), but it's an important piece of LGBT history and a tribute to the diversity of Manchester.
