About Invisible Cities

Invisible Cities is a global social enterprise that trains people who have experienced homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own city. We offer alternative walking tours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester and York.

Invisible Cities Description

We don’t believe in labels or stereotypes and want to show that everyone has great potential. We focus on good quality training so that every guide is given the opportunity to walk you through THEIR city.

Meet Laura (centre) - our lovely guide in Training in #Manchester, ready to launch her new tour on June 26th!
After months of preparation, Laura is now practicing her tour with volunteers like Marc who posted the photo and said: "I saw a clearly nervous person who’d not long since been living on the streets of this city grow before my eyes today as she shared what she’d learned, showed her pride in HER city and glowed when realising how well what she’d done was received. Wel...l done Laura 👏👏👏👏 "
We can't wait for your tour Laura!

"People ask me why I do a lot of the volunteering or what I get out of it. I just say it’s not what I get out of it but instead what I can put back into it." Danny, Invisible (Manchester)
Invisible Cities is all about providing positive opportunities to people who have experienced homelessness, whether it is employment, further training or socialising.
We are proud to have such amazing representatives of the work we do, and Danny is an inspiring spokesperson.
