We think that people telling their own stories about the experiences that matter to them, and that are important to their lives is powerful stuff. Community Reporting is all about storytelling. At the heart of what we do is helping people to find their voice and describe their own realities through storytelling. We use basic digital skills and pocket technology such as smartphones and tablets to support people to tell their own stories, in their own ways.

The issues surrounding the health, welfare and safeguarding of Manchester's children are never far from the headlines. We all have responsibility for ensuring children are safe, and to know what help and support is available.

This is an opportunity for voluntary and community organisations from across Greater Manchester to discuss the Manchester attack and to think about what we have already done, what we need to do now and what we need to do in the long term.

This is not a briefing or a conference. The focus will be on practicalities: pooling what we know, sharing ideas and working out how we can assist in supporting the victims, families and our local communities following the attack at the MEN Arena on 22nd May.
