Get in touch todayWho is PlaceCal?
We are a not-for-profit social enterprise established by Geeks for Social Change and Manchester School of Architecture.
PlaceCal was developed to combat social isolation and loneliness in our neighbourhood. We discovered that it would have amazing wellbeing and social benefits for every neighbourhood.
The PlaceCal project was conceived as part of “Manchester Age Friendly Neighbourhoods”, an age friendly partnership project described as ‘world class’ by the World Health Organisation.
