Great to see one of @bevcraig's first actions in office is to extend free bus travel to 11 to 18-year-olds across Greater Manchester.
Free bus travel will help young people access opportunities and experiences, with more than 9,000 OnSide Youth Zone members set to benefit.

24,000+ Holiday Club spaces. 19 Youth Zones. One incredible summer for young people☀️
Across the Network, Holiday Clubs are helping young people stay active, build new skills, make friends, and take part in activities they might not otherwise have the opportunity to try.
A brilliant start to our #LidlFoodies Summer Clubs at @LegacyYZ 🍎🥤
Young people joined the @LidlGB team to cook healthy recipes, make nutritious smoothies and build confidence in the kitchen.
Thanks to everyone who got involved in helping make healthy eating fun this summer 💙
