Great to kick off our anniversary event with speeches from Cllr Bev Craig and Tom Stannard from Manchester City Council about the importance of hope when planning a bright future for children and young people and the need to listen to them and empower them to drive positive initiatives.

It was great to see so many people at last night's launch event, where we marked the Centre's new identity and celebrated their fantastic work!
