You don’t have to go far to find a CHS connection.
Across Manchester and the North West, Old Waconians are building careers, starting businesses, and shaping industries, often just a few miles from each other.
Whether you’re new to the city, returning after university, or have been here for years, this is a space to reconnect with people who share that CHS starting point.
You might use this space to: offer an opportunity or some advice, connect with local alumni or simply recognise a familiar name
A good place to start is to introduce yourself, share what you are doing now and if you know other Old Wacs in Manchester, invite them to join.
