42nd Street are excited to continue working in partnership with the Making Manchester Fairer scheme to deliver training that really makes a difference. Together, they are supporting the amazing people who work with young people across Manchester – helping you build the skills and understanding to create real change in young people's lives. The training includes: Creative Training: Using Creative Approaches with a Trauma-Informed Lens; Senior Leadership Trauma Training; Social Media and Young People Training.
Who are these for?
These trainings are specifically for people from grassroots OR Manchester VCSFE organisations who work with young people aged 11-25 in Manchester. 42nd Street welcome and want to make the training more accessible for grassroots organisations first, though this training is for organisations who meet criteria of Manchester VCSFE. The Leadership Trauma training is specifically for senior leads and managers with supervisory responsibilities.
What are grassroots organisations?
These are small groups of individuals who collaborate to improve their community – typically non-profit groups with both paid staff and volunteers, focused on enhancing the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing of community members.
To be eligible for this training, your organisation must meet at least the first two:
- Work with young people aged 11-25
- Be a VCSFE based in Manchester and support young people in Manchester
- Operate as micro-entities, working primarily within a specific area (such as five streets or hyper localities)
- Be established by members of the community
- Have an annual turnover of less than £200,000 per annum and be a micro enterprise (fewer than 10 employees)
