Across Greater Manchester, communities are coming together to create neighbourhoods where everyone can live well. From grassroots initiatives to innovative collaborations, local people, groups, and organisations are driving change, fostering connections, and making a real difference in their communities.

Housing providers play a unique and vital role in this transformation as anchor institutions, deeply rooted in neighbourhoods and committed to supporting the long-term well-being of the people they serve. Join Greater Manchester Housing Providers (GMHP) to explore how their work as anchors is contributing to Live Well, Greater Manchester’s ambition for great everyday support in neighbourhoods.

Over recent months, GMHP has been working closely with key partners to develop a vision for growing consistent, community-led support in neighbourhoods—ensuring that housing goes beyond bricks and mortar to strengthen the social fabric of communities and create vibrant, connected places to live.

Join this webinar to hear more about:

Promising community-led practices anchored by housing providers in neighbourhoods, including Ageing in Place Pathfinders, community Pop ups, and asset based-community development approaches

GMHP’s vision for great everyday support in neighbourhoods, as well as what needs to shift to enable these ways of working to spread

The system enabling features that support this work – like the Greater Manchester Tripartite Agreement on health and housing and the bold Housing First Ambition, Good Landlord Charter etc

Hear directly from speakers who are leading this work in neighbourhoods, as well as system and policy leads, and learn how GMHP is working to build fairer, healthier, and happier neighbourhoods across Greater Manchester.
