The Greater Manchester Food Poverty Alliance have been producing the Food Poverty Action Plan for Greater Manchester and they would like to invite you to the launch event, to celebrate how far they've come in co-producing this plan, and to start working together to make it a reality.
The plan will contain many actions about the role the VCSE sector can play in tackling food poverty, and the need for a joined-up response between different sectors.
Did you know that approximately 1 in 8 British adults worry about not being able to afford enough food?
Research through Church Urban Fund’s Together Network shows that food poverty is an increasing issue in this country with more and more families using food banks and children going hungry during summer holidays without their free school meals.
The NHS is about to receive £22 billion of extra funding and is drawing up a 10 year long term plan. Greater Manchester is calling for its share of the money. The NHS want to make sure that the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector can be involved.
Skills for Care are establishing a network for deputy and assistant managers, which will include development sessions tailored to their roles. The next meeting will be held on Thursday 31 January, 10am-1pm at the McDonald Hotel in Manchester.
Research for the Future is an NHS supported campaign to encourage people in and around Greater Manchester to get involved with health research.
Over a 10 week course the Self Help Peer to Peer team will give you a complete overview of the steps needed to gain and maintain better wellbeing. Delivered by people who have direct experience of how to stay well, this course is for anyone with problems such as anxiety, depression who wants to discover and develop ideas around greater wellness as part of a supportive peer group.
