Last time I went I lost my bus pass(yearly one) and I called them the next day and it was handed in(Yay!) The manager was very friendly and I collected it later on in the day. The food here is lovely and the atmosphere is very chilled and I always get a nice vibe in this place - it is certainly a good place to start if you are not used to the village. I only wish my introduction to the scene was as subtle - or perhaps not! :) We always have such a lovely time here – a great place to start your night out.

As you maybe aware VS & WS is a national charity supporting victims and witnesses of crime. We receive limited funding and rely on donations, charity events and the support of our volunteers. We offer a free and confidential service for anyone affected by crime, along with a free counselling service, a Wednesday night LGBT drop in surgery for the community, a dedicate hate crime worker to work with the LGBT community, free representation when applying for criminal injuries compensation, as well as specialised workers dealing with hate crime, serious crime, crimes against children and victims of domestic violence. We are hosting a Charity Dinner on 15 September 2007, to be held at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Manchester. This event should provide, along with a most enjoyable evening of five-star entertainment, a fantastic opportunity to network between organisations working within Manchester striving towards a safer city. We would be very grateful if you would consider supporting us in this event. We are looking for a meal for two or four people, if possible including a bottle of bubbly... This would go forward as one of our star prizes and your bar / restaurant would be marketed as a major sponsor of the event. We will hopefully be able to auction these prizes in order to raise additional funds to directly support victims and witnesses across the City of Manchester. Your contribution can really make a significant difference, so please donate what ever you can. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for supporting Victim Support and Witness Service in the City of Manchester.
