North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) is at the heart of an exciting vision to improve health and wellbeing for local people over the next 10 to 15 years.
As part of the vision NMGH want to work with colleagues in the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCSE). During COVID and the current cost of living crisis the VCSE has faced lots of challenges and changes so NMGH want to make a start to this work by gathering information about the VCSE and how we can work together.
There is a prize draw of £1,000 – all completed entries before 1 February are eligible for the draw. Payment will be made to one organisation.
NMGH are also looking at a PlaceCal for the NMGH area – Place Cal is a free community calendar – please look at the Hulme PlaceCal as an example www.placecal.org or https://hulme.placecal.org
NMGH can provide help and support to set up your organisation for this free community service.

The vision
Together NMGH aim to build a new high quality and sustainable civic campus where people will want to get well, learn and work.
It will provide a focal point for the community, with integrated health and social care facilities, high-quality new homes, and access to better education and training alongside more inviting public open spaces.
This transformational development will effect generational change for the North Manchester community, creating new jobs, promoting healthy lifestyles, developing skills and contributing to a zero-carbon environment for the benefit of the local neighbourhood and beyond.
The proposals include:
- A new acute hospital providing modern, best-in-class healthcare facilities, embracing integration, innovation and technology.
- A modern mental health inpatient unit offering a high quality and effective care environment (New North View development).
- A wellbeing hub to deliver integrated community-based care and wellbeing services, responding to the specific needs of the local population. This will become a destination for the local community through the variety of services it offers, combined with meeting spaces and a community café.
- An education hub to support training for healthcare staff and to maximise employment opportunities for local community.
- A new residential community focused on keeping people well at home. The housing will be diverse and could include key worker accommodation, social housing, stepdown care, and extra care.
- New high-quality commercial space with a focus on healthy ageing and providing flexible accommodation suited to companies in different stages of evolution. This space will support and inspire innovation and enable businesses to locate and expand in North Manchester, benefiting local employment.
- A village green. This will be a high quality outdoor space, acting as a focal point for the Campus, and a vital connection to the local neighbourhood.
This is an exciting step forwards for the future of North Manchester General Hospital. NMGH look forward to working with you to develop plans for the regeneration of the site and to improve the health of the communities we serve.
