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..

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.
A 'simply unacceptable' crisis, and the £11.7m plan manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

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.
