Growing in the City - Using waste for social benefit
In so many ways 2016 wasn’t a great year was it? There seemed to be tragic stories flying at us every day which were about the worst sides of humanity. It was often hard to remember the positives. I doubt that is going to change very much in 2017. It’s very tempting to write a lot of words about the new political realities but other people are far better qualified to do that than I am. Being someone who has a healthy respect for people with knowledge - call them experts if you like - I’ll leave that to them.
IPPR North have published their annual State of the North report for 2016 which addresses three key issues – Brexit, industrial strategy and local economic resilience.

The Next Gen Youth (NGY) project was run by Unity Radio. It worked with 23 young people over a year to enable them to produce a series of 2hr radio shows focused on child and sexual exploitation (CSE). Among the benefits for the participants were: a dramatic reduction in missing from home and care incidents; increased confidence and self-belief; and improved social networks. Listeners to the show gained: improved knowldege of issues surrounding CSE; and creation of discussion and debate amongst listeners of all ages.
Rosa, the UK fund for women and girls, have announced the launch of the Woman to Woman fund. With grants of up to £25,000, no fewer than 100 local grassroots women’s organisations across the UK will be supported using funds from the ‘Tampon Tax.’ 
Home-Start Manchester North and Home-Start Manchester South are currently consulting with a range of people as to whether they should merge as organisations to become one Manchester Home-Start. 
The reason for this is a belief that by merging they can improve and make more efficient their work with children and families. They also feel it is important that families, partners and volunteers are involved in helping to shape any new organisation.
