Our new edible wall at Gorton Central is really coming to life! Many thanks to #FarmUrban for donating it & to our fab volunteers for looking after it.
It’s sparked loads of great chats about food & sustainability, and it's supplied our weekly Community Grocers with more fresh veg.

Want to try at home cervical screening?
⚠️ 3 out of 10 people choose not to attend their cervical screening appointment, or delay attending.
Researchers at The University of Manchester are testing whether collecting urine or vaginal samples at home will encourage more people to be screened.
