Homeless campaigners have set up camp inside a Manchester city centre building owned former United stars Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. the pair want to turn the Stock Exchange into a boutique hotel but squatters have decided to take up residence in the building.

The group have been moved around the city centre after being kicked off various properties including an empty office block on Charlotte Street. Their aim is to set up a 'community hub' for rough sleepers.

The Manchester Angels group posted a series of images inside the building, with the words ‘welcome to our second home’.

Mr Hall, who has been involved in a number of initiatives in the city centre to help the homeless, said the group would simply move from building to building in the coming months as part of ‘Operation Safe Winter’.
