A women-led network of savings clubs and neighbourhood associations taking action on poverty and inequality (in alliance with CLASS 1188480).

We had a brilliant learning exchange to visit @SupportSawn this week- leaders shared the benefits of savings and learnt about the work being done supporting Black African women in Oldham, including seeing their amazing furniture hub..

Great to see #ManchesterCityCouncil managing 28% social rent homes in this new development @SocialHomes4Mcr

[Gavin White @gavinwhite76]

498 homes, of which 214, or 43% are affordable have gained planning permission on a former brownfield site in East Manchester next to Phillips Park.

Pleased to see this site progress, which also includes 139 homes for social rent for local residents and families. 🏡🌳

Leaders of https://t.co/h62xYu658i and https://t.co/sGDkT5hsqc did a fab job presenting their experiences at yesterday's #GMLiveWell webinar "Reimagining Neighbourhood Regeneration". Great to hear about all the brilliant work across GM. New podcast also: https://t.co/6ZoqDE2zlN

Yesterday Community Savers leaders hosted students from the Critical Issues in Urban Inequality Course at @GlobalDevInst - they presented on their community action work before walking through Miles Platting to see how regeneration has affected the local area

Pleased to see this further investment to tackle issue of empty homes across Greater Manchester.

In Manchester, we have seen 350+ long-term empty homes brought back into use in last 12 months.

This is a key part of our @McrLabour housing strategy for all our local residents.

On Tuesday Dandelion Savers went to Wales to visit KIM Inspire, learning about their projects supporting women and girls with neurodivergence, and then to Rivertown URC to hear about plans for a community hub.
Great day of learning exchange & relationship building!

Brilliant to be working with the newly launched Arbourthorne Community Network on #communityled #socialchange in #sheffield. Such an inspiring group of women and local mums. Can't wait to see how their work evolves over the coming months.

We are supporting the We're Right Here campaign for #CommunityPoweredPolitics
English Devolution Bill is debated in Parliament to shift power from Westminster. Power must flow directly to local people! Give communities the right to shape their future.
