Greater Manchester’s first Bee Network ‘parklet’ and ‘pocket park’ has launched on Bridgefield Street in Stockport. Dozens of parklets and pocket parks could be delivered throughout Greater Manchester as part of the Bee Network.
A parklet is a mini-park - usually the size of one or two car parking bays - that is typically installed on-street featuring seating, greenery and cycle parking. A pocket park is a small park-like space that enhances a variety of street types and can incorporate seating, planting, play and street gym equipment.

The Greater Manchester Older People’s Network (GMOPN) are excited to be launching a new Positive Ageing Imagery Project. The project will be looking at why stereotypical images of wrinkly hands that reinforce negativity around ageing are used in the media to represent older people. We want to replace these images with more positive ones that celebrate older people and ageing. Helen Morris, who will be volunteering with the GMOPN over the coming months, will be facilitating this project and is looking for older people who are interested in getting involved.
Dear Colleagues
I would like to invite you to consider becoming a formal member of the Manchester VCSE Health and Wellbeing Leaders Group.
The group is a coalition of the willing, leading on behalf of the wider sector and accountable back to the sector.
As part of its continued commitment to reducing and ultimately preventing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Manchester City Council is aiming to provide investment in 2019/20 through the Directorate for Children and Families to Voluntary, Community Sector, not for profit and faith sector organisations to further address this issue.
Over the next two years, the ESF Community grant programme will help thousands of people who face additional barriers in the workplace to improve their employability and gain permanent employment. 
The WEA will distribute small grants of up to £20,000 across Greater Manchester to eligible organisations in the VCSE sector between June 2019 and May 2021.
The funding can help ALL who are out of work but especially those that:
Leadership across the youth and play sector is a critical issue for all of us if we are to meet the ambitious vision that we have for children and young people in Manchester. Together, we want to build and support leadership in the sector, and establish strong partnerships and collaborations across the city which benefit us all. Supported by Young Manchester, a new Youth and Play Sector Leaders Group has been established. 
Three small charities in Greater Manchester have been selected today as 2019 Weston Charity Awards winners. They will each receive a core grant of £6,500 from the Garfield Weston Foundation and a year’s strategic planning support from a team of four business leaders to enable them to become more efficient, effective and sustainable.
