Welcome to The Corner Hub, a community-focused coffee shop, social space and vintage & preloved retail hub created by Can-Survive UK.

Located on Withington Road, with easy access to Whalley Range, Hulme, Old Trafford and Chorlton, it has been designed as a welcoming place where people can come together to connect, relax and feel part of a positive community environment.
Alongside our daytime coffee shop serving coffee, cakes, savoury snacks and cold drinks, the space is also home to our charity’s cancer support groups and wellbeing activities.
Whether you are joining us for a coffee, browsing our vintage and preloved collection, or simply looking for a friendly place to spend time, you are warmly welcome at The Corner Hub.

The Corner Hub on Withington Road

Coffee – time to relax

At its heart, The Corner Hub exists to support the work of Can-Survive UK by generating income that contributes to the sustainability of our wider services. Every coffee, food item and purchase from our vintage and preloved section directly helps us continue providing vital support to individuals and families in our community.
Alongside our coffee shop, The Corner Hub offers a relaxed space to enjoy a light breakfast, slice of delicious home-made cake, hot or cold drink, meet friends, or take a break from the day.
As The Corner Hub grows, we remain committed to reflecting the values of Can-Survive UK: dignity, inclusion, empowerment, and hope. We strive to maintain a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone who visits.

A moment to relax in a safe, respectful, and welcoming space

Opportunities to get involved

We are also proud to be developing opportunities for service users, carers and members of the wider community to get involved through volunteering, skill development and future employment pathways. The Hub provides a supportive environment where people can build confidence, gain experience and progress at their own pace.
