Support for Gorton

Between January and May 2024 we will be running a number of workshops providing advice and support on turning your ideas to help your community into reality.

The sessions will be held at the community centre at 54 Crossley Street, Gorton, M18 8BA. Refreshments will be provided and the team will be in attendance to introduce themselves, discuss your ideas and see if we can help. No appointment is necessary.

From January we’ll be running several workshops per month aimed at getting your ideas off the ground. All of the workshops are free. If you’re interested or want to chat first, then please drop us a line.
