Young People

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking to commission a delivery partner for the Young People and Resilience – Understanding the Past, Strengthening Cohesion and Preparing for the Future project, funded through the Co-operative Councils’ Innovation Network (CCIN).

This project aims to empower young people from diverse faith communities across Greater Manchester to become confident, skilled leaders who can contribute to community resilience and cohesion, particularly in times of crisis.

The Open Doors Project is a pilot scheme established by the Office for Social Responsibility in collaboration with Manchester Museum and Alliance Manchester Business School. The scheme allows community members to book meeting rooms totally free-of-charge on the Oxford Road campus. These room bookings are open to voluntary and charity organisations, CICs and social enterprises, community groups, and residents’ associations.

Hearts & Minds are looking for more over-60s to join their mission to inspire the next generation.

Hearts & Minds are a friendly, creative group of older people who work alongside professional artists and musicians to make fun, thoughtful productions for children each week on a Thursday morning.

The big project
The multi-award-winning children’s podcast Armchair Adventures – a bit like a radio play, full of music, characters, and storytelling. It’s created by Hearts & Minds, inspired by real lives, and enjoyed by children all over the world!
