The Greater Manchester Tobacco Programme, ‘Making Smoking History’ – calling all Manchester community groups, charities and networks

11 Apr 2018 - 15:55 by michelle.foster

• Are you a Manchester community group, charity or network that wants to help reduce smoking in the city?
• Do you want to shape a Greater Manchester-wide project with an aim of ‘Making Smoking History’?
• Could you help to identify the factors that lead people to smoke, especially those within certain ‘priority groups’?
• Would you like to generate income towards your work?

If the answer to the above questions is yes then please get in touch with Helen Walker, on 0161 834 9823, or email: [email protected] to discuss this opportunity.

The Greater Manchester (GM) Tobacco Programme, ‘Making Smoking History’, sets out an unprecedented ambition to deliver a tobacco control programme at a pace and scale greater than any other global city. We aim to reduce smoking prevalence by one third by 2021 which will see 115,000 fewer smokers in GM.

What we’re asking for:
We need 100 people across Manchester to complete an online survey by the end of April. These 100 people should be current smokers. They’ll be giving their views on the factors that are involved in people continuing to smoke and helping to shape the direction and key components of the strategy. This will help the design of a new project across Greater Manchester. Your knowledge, skills, experience and ideas will be vital to make sure that the work on this project is as successful as possible. Your organisation’s role is to identify members of the community who could complete the survey, and to facilitate and support this. For each completed questionnaire, your organisation would receive a payment.

We look forward to hearing from you. Please contact Helen at [email protected] for more information.
