An online celebration welcoming anyone interested in loneliness, social cohesion and systems change.

Join Young Manchester for a night of reimagining Manchester's social impact with the youth – let's shift the power dynamics together!

The Power Shift, w/Youth
Join the launch event – an evening of connection, innovation, and youth-led problem-solving.

W/Youth is shifting power to young people, building a city with and for them. Manchester is the UK’s fastest-growing city economy – yet over 40% of young people live in poverty.

This workshop is designed to support VCFSE organisations working with migrant communities in the North West. Priority will be given to smaller or newly established organisations working with Hong Kong BN(O), Afghan and Ukrainian communities particularly those that are new to funding or applications.

How do you launch a decade-long programme that puts power in the hands of local people? How do you bring in volunteers, form partnerships with local institutions, consult communities and create plans for action? What level of resource do you need in place for the ‘start-up’ phase? How do plans evolve and change over time? And how do you get things started in areas where there is a lack of community voice and infrastructure?
