Greater Manchester Live Well – Spaces of Hope and Connection

Greater Manchester Live Well – Spaces of Hope and Connection

10GM, and Salford CVS are working with a range of local partners to develop a strategic proposal for the National Lottery Community Fund (in the region of £10 million over 3 years) which will complement the wider GM Live Well Work. 

This funding will not be from the Greater Manchester National Lottery Community Fund allocations but from a National Partnership Fund.  The investment will be for ‘Community Owned Spaces of Hope and Connection’ – to grow and sustain community-led spaces across Greater Manchester.

This event aims to engage Salford-based VCSE sector organisations in contributing to this bid and influence what this work would look like in Salford.  The session will focus on the following four areas:-

• Grow new spaces in underinvested communities and inequality runs deepest
• Strengthen and sustain existing community-led spaces — helping them flourish long-term
• Build a connected, city-region-wide network of thriving, trusted, community-led spaces
• Surface new learning and compelling evidence about the impact of Spaces of Hope and how to make them thrive, building the case regionally as well as nationally.

Greater Manchester Live Well is a partnership between Greater Manchester Combined Authority, NHS Greater Manchester, and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector across Greater Manchester.  It began in 2021 when the Independent Equalities Commission proposed a whole system approach to putting health and wellbeing at the heart of strategic plans for Greater Manchester and is at the core of GM Mayor, Andy Burnham’s Manifesto commitment.  A £10m implementation fund has been invested in by GMCA and NHS GM to support the delivery of Andy Burnham’s vision in neighbourhoods for “everyday support, for everyone, in every neighbourhood.

A vegetarian / vegan buffet will be served at 5.00pm, with the meeting commencing at 5.30pm.
