Statement from the Greater Manchester Interfaith Network, 23 May 2017

Dear All,

Our thoughts today, following the horrendous incident at the Manchester Arena last night, are with those who were caught up in the attack, especially those killed and injured and their families. Such acts of indiscriminate terror have no part in our society and we stand together with all who long for a world in which violence and terror does not have the last word.

As faith and interfaith groups in Manchester, we reaffirm our commitment to working together to increase understanding and respect between all people.

Manchester City Council - Summer Playscheme grants 2017

The purpose of the Playscheme funding is to complement the all year round play offer in Manchester. The funding is to provide free open access play activities, over the summer holidays with a particular focus on addressing gaps in provision, increasing the numbers of disabled children accessing universal play services and increasing children’s opportunities to outdoor play. It is envisaged that this will be done through the delivery of play activities from the Voluntary and Community Sector in Manchester.
