Collage of 9 photos from Stockroom - showing inside and outside and photo of me holding the new Greater Manchester strategy
Finally made it to Stockroom, #Stockport this week. What a wonderful, warm welcoming centre - for anybody & everybody - as it says on the door.
A perfect space for this week’s VCFSE Forum exploring inclusive local economies & support to enable good lives for all #GMLiveWell. ♥️
Putting physical activity at the heart of the health agenda is vital.
@gmmoving.co.uk Strategic Director @joesarling.bsky.social wrote how physical activity is already playing a pivotal role within the GM ICP strategy and #GMLiveWell: www.gmmoving.co.uk/news/putting...

An illustrated bus with a light green body and dark green wheels, depicting a quote from Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester. The quote reads: "Community-powered spaces like those we visited today are redefining how we put meaningful, everyday support back at the heart of every neighbourhood. They're showing what's possible when communities are empowered to lead. These are welcoming spaces that are delivering that help and support with, not simply at, local people." To the right of the quote is a headshot of Andy Burnham, a man with short, dark hair and glasses, smiling. Below the quote are three logos: "Local Trust trusting local people," a pink square with "WE'RE RIGHT HERE" in white text, and "LIVE WELL DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY WITH GREATER MANCHESTER'S COMMUNITIES" with a teal circular design.

In the foreground, a woman with long, dark hair is smiling at the camera, and next to her, a person with short, light brown hair and glasses is also smiling at the camera. Other attendees are visible further back in the bus. Below the photo, the caption reads: "Rachel Rowney and other attendees on the bus." Below the photo and to the left, there are three logos: "Local Trust trusting local people," a pink square with "WE'RE RIGHT HERE" in white text and "The Campaign for Community Power" below it, and "LIVE WELL DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY WITH GREATER MANCHESTER'S COMMUNITIES" with a teal circular design.

An illustrated bus with a light green body and dark green wheels, depicting a quote from Rachel Rowney, CEO of Local Trust. The quote reads: "Sale West and Little Hulton Big Locals are great examples of the impact communities can have when given the tools to make the changes they want to see in their neighbourhoods. We know that long-term, flexible funding which places trusts in residents to make decisions on resources results in healthier and happier neighbourhoods."

Andy Burnham holding a microphone is seated on a bus, speaking to two women sitting behind him. The setting appears to be the upper deck of a modern double-decker bus, with large windows showing a view of a brick building and some greenery outside.
Five people are standing indoors, smiling at the camera in a casual group photo. The setting appears to be a community or recreational centre, as suggested by the colourful mural behind them, which features illustrations of boxers and other vibrant artwork. One man in the centre is wearing a suit, while the others are dressed in smart-casual attire with lanyard.
A bright yellow double-decker bus, featuring the "Bee Network" logo is parked at a bus stop on a city street. Behind the bus, classic brick buildings with ornate architecture line the street, while another yellow bus is visible in the distance. A white van is partially visible to the left, and a "Bus Stop" sign stands tall near the front of the bus.
And that’s a wrap on the Big GM Live Well Bus Tour in Manchester🎉
Here’s a sneak peek from today’s exciting event featuring @andyburnham.bsky.social, our CEO Rachel Rowney, and other attendees. Stay tuned for more tomorrow➡️
