People's Powerhouse

The People ARE the North.  This event IS the North! Collaborate. Debate. Network. Share. Inspire. Join us!

Friends' Meeting House

The People’s Powerhouse exists to bring Northerners together to debate the future of the North. This 30th November, we’re delighted to be bringing our annual Convention ‘This Is The North’ to the Friends’ Meeting House in central Manchester. The people of the North deserve a genuine say on the future of our regions; we have been failed by successive governments and we refuse for our voice to be ignored any longer; especially as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite hard in the North. Come and join us to celebrate our successes, challenge those in power, and work together towards a fairer and brighter future for the North.Our confirmed line-up (so far):•	Nazir Afzal OBE (Chancellor of the University of Manchester)•	Andy Burnham (Mayor of Greater Manchester)• Tracy Brabin (Mayor of West Yorkshire)•	Steve Rotheram (Mayor of Liverpool City Region)•	Jamie Driscoll (Mayor of North Tyne)•	Oliver Coppard (Mayor of South Yorkshire)•	Bev Craig (Leader of the City of Manchester)• Zoe Billingham (Director IPPR North)•	Edna Robinson (Chair of People’s Powerhouse, Big Life Group &amp; The Alternative Provider Federation)•	The Jo Cox Foundation•	The Social Change Nest•	Basic Income Conversation (Compass)•	Frances Leach (Chair of Unite Young Members)•	Equity the Union•	Breaking Ground LCR•	Northern Spin podcast •	The Northern Agenda (our Media Partner for the event)•	Resolution Foundation•	ACORN the Unon•	Eve Holt (Greater Sport)•	Stanley Wilshire (Green New Deal advocate)•	People’s Powerhouse Racial Justice Network•	The Three Hijabis•	Big Life Group•	Sarah Longlands (CEO for Centre for Local Economic Strategies)•	Neil McInroy (Senior Fellow at Democracy Collaborative)•	Nathan Parker (Poet &amp; Youth Worker)•	Social Value UK•	Patrick Hurley (RSA Area Manager for North of England)•	Change In A Box•	100 ideas for the North•	Liverpool SOUP•	Shared Harmonies•	Jessie Joe Jacobs (Involve/Democracy Network)•	B-Lab UK•	Jude Daniel Smith (Yorkshire &amp; Humber Regional Youth Climate Assembly)•	Professor Paul Crawshaw (Director of Social Innovation for Teeside University)•	Professor Neil Denton (After Disasters Network/Relationships Project)•	George House Trust•	BHA for Equality•	LGBT FoundationPeople’s Powerhouse Board Director Tracy Fishwick OBE: “This sixth annual convention builds on our tradition of showing how it’s the people of the North who are its’ true powerhouse. It’s become a true movement for change where good ideas take root, are shared and celebrated. And as it’s more important now than ever before, with more volatility and uncertainty, that we support each other through genuine pan-Northern connections, so that we can challenge what’s broken and what doesn’t work for people anymore. We’re excited about the convention, and our plan to do even more as we enter 2023”. People’s Powerhouse Director Ruth Hannan: “A lot has happened in the past few years, and we want you as Northerners to take part in our event to come together, deliberate, and collaborate on democratic, economic, and socially resilient solutions for the challenges ahead. This is our moment to come together to discuss the real issues that affect us as Northerners.
