GM Live Well: Growing great everyday support in every neighbourhood
This event, Growing great everyday support in every neighbourhood to tackle health, social and economic inequalities, is being co-created with communities and public services.
This is the fourth event planned as part of Greater Manchester’s National Lottery funded programme of movement building, learning and accelerator work (in Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford and Tameside). It follows the launch in February 2024, an event focused on community wealth building in May 2024, and a community power event in October 2024.
It will bring together our Voluntary Community, Faith and Social Enterprise partners, Local Authorities, NHS, funders, and more to explore the journey we have been on since the 2021 Live Well Mayoral manifesto commitment, celebrate our achievements, share, learn and importantly progress as we take our neighbourhood and prevention work to the next level through GM Live Well.
We hope to galvanise and energise all partners in the next steps of our journey, exploring how Greater Manchester can all build on what we have learnt, sustainably invest in, and do, community led health and wellbeing to tackle health, social and economic inequalities.
Bringing people together to talk about how we can deliver Live Well centres, spaces and offers, co-designing the features and principles that need to be at their heart, the event will share what we have learnt to date to inform the next stage of Live Well.
This event is being co-created with communities and public services. Together we will invite people and organisations to celebrate, share, learn and progress:
● Forging connections across the people and places in GM doing this work, and growing the movement
● Sharing stories, practice and learning about great everyday support and communities taking action on the things they care about
● Explore what it takes to broaden residents’ opportunities to be healthy, happy and connected, through a variety of accessible and equitable activities, support and information in their neighbourhood
