A fabulous start for the free Manchester Jelly collaborative coworking
Mon 7th Nov 11 - 12:00

Working on your own can sometimes be a little isolating, especially with the nights growing dark earlier and earlier. The Jelly is a way to brighten up the working week by getting a group of people together and working alongside other interesting people.

Manchester Jelly, which started in September this year, is the first free casual co-working event in Manchester. It draws a range of individuals together every Friday; including freelancers, telecommuters, small/micro business owners and entrepreneurs, for the opportunity to get their work done whilst meeting and helping each other.

"Jellies started in America a few years ago and now regularly take place in dozens of cities across the world, including several in the UK" says Ben Gibbs, co-founder of Manchester Jelly.

"Some people work in isolation a lot of the time and Manchester Jelly offers the chance to work amongst other people, allowing those random, fun and helpful conversations to take place when people are sharing a space and working together.

Some small businesses use Jellies as a chance to get out of the office and meet new people."

"Jellies are for people from any industry, we've had translators, project managers, web developers, illustrators, writers and many more types professions at Manchester Jelly, some of whom are freelancers and others are employed."

Manchester Jelly takes place every Friday from 9am to 6pm at MadLab on Edge Street in Manchester's trendy Northern Quarter. It is free to attend, with free tea & Coffee and superfast WiFi. Voluntary £5 donations to go towards the running of the space are appreciated for the host venue MadLab.
