The Journey of Recovery - Manchester Resilience Hub

The Journey of Recovery is a 10 minute animated film that includes the voices of a group of young people who were caught up in the Manchester Arena attack on 22nd May 2017.

This animation was commissioned by the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund (WLMEF); the charity set up after the Manchester Arena attack. Trustees of the WLMEF recognised that there were many young people caught up in the Arena attack and heard reports of the challenges they faced returning to school, college or university. The Trustees wanted to help professionals across educational settings better understand how trauma might impact their students and it was decided that a short animation would be an accessible way of beginning to do this. It is hoped that this animation will be a lasting legacy of the WLMEF.
