An excellent session with @mancitycouncil.bsky.social staff enrolled on our ‘Journey to Leadership’ scheme. A program designed to develop leadership skills and opportunities for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff, to improve race equality and build an inclusive workplace.

Great to see Secretary of State @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
announce the rebuild of North Manchester General Hospital in the most urgent phase.

North Manchester desperately needs investment and our residents deserve the best the NHS has to offer, it will also spearhead ambitious regeneration 👇🏼

@jimmcmahon.co.uk believes in the power of local gov. & the difference it makes. Will reset the relationship between local & central gov. We have a broken funding system which can’t be fixed overnight but @labouruk.bsky.social
committed to working hand-in-hand to get the sector back on its feet

Looking forward to the #LGAFinance conference which will offer perspectives on the 2025/26 provisional local government finance settlement and what it means for local authorities, as well as looking to the longer-term outlook for local government.

As we move into December & the temperatures start to drop, we don’t want any older resident to suffer hardship through the winter months.

If you haven't received a payment, you can still apply for the winter fuel hardship fund 👇🏽
