Stay connected to the movement, learn and share through the Live Well event series:
1.30-3pm online.
The work of local grassroots organisations and community groups plays a crucial yet often overlooked role in homelessness prevention. Addressing key issues around food insecurity, mental health and finances through creating a sense of belonging and connection can provide individuals experiencing multiple disadvantage with an important safety net before they reach the crisis point of experiencing homelessness.
Discover and hear how community driven initiatives are effectively preventing homelessness through early intervention, support and community engagement.

Communities shaping the places they live and the system of support around them is key to tackling health and wellbeing inequalities.
Across Greater Manchester, people and places are working in new and creative ways to ensure community voice is at the heart of decision-making, changing the way support is designed and delivered, and growing community power in their neighbourhoods. From community-led voice and influence networks to legislative theatre and poverty truth commissions, communities are laying the vital groundwork to make their voices heard. Through these spaces, communities build deep understanding of what is needed to tackle inequalities in their neighbourhoods and activate their collective agency to affect change.
We know that it is not only about what happens in communities, but their relationship with decision-makers that creates lasting impact.
Come along to learn, inspire, and grow the movement.
This event is being developed in partnership with GM Networks Connect, bringing together a range of digital, food poverty, climate, and homelessness social justice and action networks across GM.
