Pankhurst Centre: Break in at suffragette museum causes '£15,000 of damage'
Manchester’s Pankhurst Centre has launched an urgent appeal to fund repairs after a break in to the famous house where Emmeline Pankhurst founded the suffragette movement.
The building is it home to the small Pankhurst Centre museum, the only museum in the country dedicated to the story of women’s suffrage, it is also home to Manchester Women’s Aid. The charity has worked for over 40 years to provide safety to victims of domestic abuse.
In 2018 the Pankhurst Centre was at the heart of the national celebrations marking the centenary of the first women achieving the vote.
