Forever Manchester has launched a Community Support Fund for grassroots community groups that are responding to the impact of Covid-19 by helping those most affected. Awards of up to £1,000 are available.
The Coronavirus is having a huge impact across GM Poverty Action’s network. Public, private and VCSE sector organisations are thinking about how they maintain and adapt services to response to emerging needs. The situation will have a significant impact on people experiencing poverty, and on responses to poverty, both in the short and long-term.
Cracking Good Food, a not for profit social enterprise that teaches people how to cook affordable, healthy food from scratch is celebrating 10 years in business and has this month relaunched its website.
www.crackinggoodfood.org has been completely updated and redesigned.
Food Drop, a platform that ensures unsold food from the high street goes to local charities, is coming to Manchester.
Cafes and restaurants are often forced to throw away perfectly edible food at the end of the day. Food Drop makes it easy for this food to be collected by nearby charities, helping reduce food waste and strengthen local communities.
As the coronavirus having reached the UK, Survivors Manchester want to take their responsibility in preventing the spread of the infection and as a precaution and on advice from their NHS Commissioners they have agreed to temporarily suspend the Drop In service.
This project is run alongside Manchester City Council, by two 3rd year Geography students as part of the ‘Governing Urban Transformations’ module at the University of Manchester.
The project is looking at generating a strategy and report for tackling period poverty in Greater Manchester, which has some really exciting opportunities to be taken seriously by officials, with some of the policy recommendations potentially being implemented within the city.
It’s been 10 years since Professor Michael Marmot last looked at health divides. His latest report, while not painting a pretty picture, does highlight some of the work that has been going on in Manchester to help try to buck the national trend.
