422 Community Hub: Ardwick and Longsight Community Support Network

If you work with people and communities across Ardwick and Longsight, we’d love you to join us for the first gathering of the Ardwick & Longsight Community Support Network.

At 422, we have the privilege of speaking to many of you and we hear the same thing over and over - we’re all busy doing our jobs, supporting residents and responding to the needs we see every day. That often means there simply isn’t enough time to meet the other people and services working on our doorstep, or to keep up with everything that’s happening locally.

Let's Have a Brew – informal get together sessions

Join Charity Partnership for a free monthly get together for people involved in charities, community interest companies (CICs), community groups and other good causes.

The get togethers will take place at Home Community Cafe, Didsbury (M20 6TR), from 10:30am - 12:00pm, on the second Wednesday of each month starting on 9 September.
