Community Engagement

Join Wythenshawe Community Housing Group at the Wythenshawe Forum Concourse for an engaging afternoon of connection, learning and hands on activities, bringing together local partners, organisations, and residents to explore how we can all play a part in creating a greener, more sustainable Wythenshawe.

This event will showcase a range of organisations and community groups helping residents to tackle climate change, reduce waste, grow their own food, recycle more, and make sustainable choices in everyday life.

Did we make a difference? That’s what every charity wants to know. Answering this question can be tricky. It’s hard to collect reliable data about things that have changed. And even if you can, how do you know it was down to you? Would change have happened anyway? More and more charities therefore develop a measurement framework. Such a framework can guide you to measure impact in a structured and robust way. But how do you develop a good measurement framework?

This online webinar is for charities who want to develop or update their measurement framework.

Every story your charity tells shapes how people understand your work and the people behind it. Done well, storytelling can inspire action, build trust and strengthen your reputation. Done poorly, it can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes, undermine dignity, or damage relationships with the people you're trying to support.

A discussion built around the questions…

Could influencers help your charity reach new audiences? Join Media Trust for an expert webinar on the basics of working with influencers.

Influencer marketing isn’t just for big brands and big budgets. The right creator can help your charity reach new audiences, tell powerful stories and build genuine connections with communities who might not otherwise encounter your work.

But how do you find influencers who genuinely align with your cause? What makes a good partnership? And how can charities make collaborations work when time and resources are limited?

You are invited to join Local Welcome for their Manchester Community Meal on Saturday 3^rd October.

You’ll cook and eat a meal from scratch with people in your community – some born locally, some new to the area, and some seeking sanctuary or with refugee backgrounds.
