Young people who want to save the planet - call out for community groups from M6 Theatre
M6’s next original theatre production The Storm, is an innovative creative intervention confronting the climate crisis (and aiming to transform young people’s anxiety into action in the spirit of Greta’s call to action that we are “never too small to make a big difference”)
It will be touring into Rochdale secondary schools with a facilitated workshop engaging 3,000 Year 7 students (funded by RMBC Head of Schools Gillian Barratt) from March to May 2020.
Local charity Action Together has worked in partnership with charity Homeless Friendly to pledge to help meet the needs of homeless people in Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside.
As part of the pledge, Homeless Friendly delivered awareness training to Action Together staff to ensure the teams are able to fully meet the needs of homeless people. Action Together will examine its policies and procedures to ensure they are homeless friendly, and work with partners to encourage them to care for the homeless and speak to homeless people with understanding and compassion.
Have your say on how buses are run!
Buses are vital for Greater Manchester. They’re used for three-out-of-four public transport journeys and thousands of people depend on them to get to work, the shops or services like our local GP.
Buses also help reduce the number of cars on the roads, this means less congestion and less pollution.
But bus use is falling.
In preparation for the forthcoming job opportunities at Rochdale Riverside – the new Retail & Leisure venue in central Rochdale, Employment Links Partnership (ELP), in conjunction with The Growth Company, through the delivery of the Skills Support for Employment (SSE) programme, are inviting referrals to a “Routeway to Retail” programme, which will commence delivery very soon.
What is a Young People in the Lead team?
At The National Lottery Community Fund, we have big plans for 2020 as we work to make sure that young people’s voices are included in all our work, whether it’s through the grants we make, the people we influence or the things we learn.
Greater Manchester is a place where everyone should feel safe to be themselves. No one should face violence, abuse or hatred just because of who they are, who they love, where they’re from, what they look like or what they believe. Hate incidents and hate crime will not be tolerated in Greater Manchester.
There is a lot of great work taking place to tackle hate crime in each area of Greater Manchester but we think we can be more effective if we work together. So, we are creating the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Plan to help prevent and tackle hate crime.
Tameside Population Health is collecting information on the support available in Tameside to improve your health and wellbeing. It wants to get information, views and opinions from people living and working in the area, including individuals and organisations who work to support communities in Tameside.
