The GM Live Well Podcast explores public services taking a new approach to ensure everyone gets the everyday support they need. It will discover what happens when our communities are trusted to lead and what systems can do to lend ‘a helping hand, not a hoop to jump through’.
The series unpacks this approach to prevention as a better way forward. What we call Live Well in Greater Manchester.
Hosted by Mayor Andy Burnham, GM Shapers' Folashade Alonge and the GM Live Well team, the series comes from libraries and barber shops, food banks, music cafés, and women-led groups, grassroots mutual aid, community hubs and more.
Instead of one-to-one chats, it takes a documentary-style approach, weaving together more than 100 voices from across our city region recorded at system-wide movement-building events over the past 18 months – you’ll hear stories of communities and public services working side by side to grow health, wealth and connection.
An episode will be released each week over the Autumn and Winter.
Episode one – Introducing Live Well: A different way of growing health, wealth and connection in Greater Manchester is available now. Listen here
