main activity is supporting and educating the residents at THE WELL helping them back into working life. They also serve a delicious Sunday roast prepared for rough-sleepers and those living in dire poverty. Food, clothes and toiletries are given out throughout the week. As a condition of providing accommodation and food, the residents volunteer for FareShare, thereby establishing a good routine to get them ready for a working life.
As SPIN keeps growing, as does the number of people seeking the help and support provided. SPIN relies entirely on donations, with the team working for free, all of the money donated goes into refurbishing their centre and operating around Manchester, every penny is put to good use.

The Well has a number of possible locations for the pod, both internal and external. It will be your task to analyse the site to determine the pod’s best home.

started as a street kitchen, they were soon offered a project by the pastor of a local dilapidated Baptist Church in Ardwick, to regenerate said church into a sanctuary for the homeless, now known as the WELL. SPIN then brought the street kitchen indoors, in order to put a roof over our homeless friends while they eat in the cafeteria with proper cutlery and a warm environment. As the kitchen attracted more rough sleepers, SPIN started to focus on providing accommodation to said people. And now, the focus shifted to improving the Well in order to welcome more people in need.
One thing missing currently at the WELL is a quite space for the occupants to go and relax, reflect, work and talk in private.
A number of potential spaces have been earmarked for the Pod, but it will be up to you to decide which spot best suites your design and works well with the rest of the site.

a winner will be voted for, as a whole group the following week we will focus on producing a detailed construction manual, accompanied by a 1:20 physical model of the final Pod design, enabling the reader to fully construct the pod from start to finish.

To aid in the creation of the manual we will be holding small tutorials on the programs you may need for the project and your future, we also help further your model making skills.
