Health and Wellbeing

Is your organisation a champion for the communities it represents?

Manchester is working really hard to address health inequalities that mean some people face unfair hardship, health issues, or do not get the help they need.

Manchester City Council is looking for community organisations who can be part of Community Health Equity Manchester (CHEM), a strategic group that aims to tackle this disadvantage and help shape policy and services in the city, by learning from people's first-hand experience.

And that’s where you come in.  

Are you interested in becoming a vaccinations champion for older people?

The Greater Manchester Older People’s Network are working with the NHS to share information about vaccinations with people across Greater Manchester who can then share with their communities, groups and networks.

Viruses common in winter can make some people very unwell and result in serious problems that may need hospital care. The NHS offers free vaccines to those at greatest risk, so they can get the protection they need.

Carers Manchester South work to identity and support unpaid carers within the South of Manchester City Council. Carers Manchester South do outreach in the local community to try to reach as many unpaid carers as they can, some of whom may not identify or recognise themselves as an unpaid carer. Carers Manchester South  are able to support and signpost these carers to local services and to the contact point which is the first point of contact for carers in Manchester.
