Breakthrough Manchester

This week’s features photos from the early years of Breakthrough Manchester, formerly known as Summerbridge. 💙

Over the years, Breakthrough has helped so many students and aspiring educators discover their passions and pursue their dreams. It’s incredible to look back on how far our community has come over the past 35 years!
