GM Live Well Podcast Episode eight: Hope, power and prevention: The future of GM Live Well

Looking ahead to a future where everyone can live well; the final episode in this series of the GM Live Well Podcast explores what it will take to make great everyday support a reality across Greater Manchester.

A vision where people ‘Feel like you're at home and comfortable... they know your name …. free cup of coffee... these are gonna help me’: Elephant's Trail community reporting.

Tune in to explore where devolving power and funding means communities thrive, inequalities reduce, and everyday support becomes accessible, inclusive, and sustainable; where welcoming, strength-based spaces and support build trust, belonging, and purpose.

People from across Greater Manchester discuss what happens when systems enable community action, community power and community wealth to grow and what it takes to ensure people, not processes, are at the heart of change.
