Advice from Greater Manchester Combined Authority

We are continuing to strongly encourage people to wear face coverings in crowded areas such as public transport.
Anyone using the Metrolink network, bus stations or transport interchanges in Greater Manchester must still wear a face covering unless exempt.
It is also recommended:
All adults get both doses of a COVID-19 vaccineIf you are meeting up with people try and do so outdoors or if indoors to let fresh air in by opening doors and windowsEveryone takes free, regular lateral flow coronavirus tests twice a weekEveryone washes their hands regularly for 20 secondsUntil Monday, legal restrictions remain in place.

More than 157,000 people registered at GP practices in Manchester have had their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine (as of 14 March 2021).Who is eligble for the COVID-19 vaccination?
The vaccine will be offered to those at greatest risk from Covid-19 first, starting with those considered to be at highest risk of death should they contract COVID-19.
People will be invited for a vaccine when it is their turn:
Residents in a care home for older adults, and their carersAll those 80 years of age and over, and front-line health and social care workersAll those 75 years of age and overAll those 70 years of age and over, and clinically extremely vulnerable individualsAll those 65 years of age and overAll individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortalityAll those 60 years of age and overAll those 55 years of age and overAll those 50 years of age and over.Vaccination sites in ManchesterThere are 13 vaccination sites across Manchester.
Contacting you about your COVID-19 vaccinationIn Manchester there are three ways you might be contacted to get your vaccination:
Most people will be contacted by their GP practice, which will book them into their local Vaccination Centre; these are run by local GP practices working together.You might be contacted by your local hospital as an outpatient or inpatient.If you are eligible and haven’t already been vaccinated, you will receive a letter from the national booking service inviting you to book online or call 119 to book an appointment at a local pharmacy-run vaccination centre in the city or at the mass vaccination centre at the National Tennis Centre (Etihad Campus).Why is the vaccine important?Having the vaccine will be the best way to protect the most vulnerable people from coronavirus and has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives.
Vaccination for COVID-19 prepares your body to fight off the disease if you are exposed to it. For most people this stops them getting very unwell. When enough people are vaccinated, we can create herd immunity, which prevents the virus from spreading. So until we have vaccinated the majority of adults, we must all continue to wash our hands regularly, wear a mask or face covering, and maintain social distancing. More information on the COVID-19 vaccination is available on NHS.uk
Contacting us about vaccine availabilityIf you are a private provider of health and social care services in Manchester that fall into current JCVI cohorts and have not been contacted about COVID-19 vaccine availability, or have questions about the vaccine rollout, please email communications@manchesterlco.org

Useful linksFace coverings: separating fact from fiction a report from Age UK
Despite being a public health measure, face coverings remain a source of controversy and confusion for many people. Do they primarily protect the wearer or the people they come into contact with? What’s the correct face covering to wear? What about those for whom a face covering might not be suitable?
Professor Trisha Greenhalgh is a GP and Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford who co-authored a British Medical Journal paper on the protective effect of face coverings in public spaces. Trisha is therefore the perfect person to answer the persistent questions and separate fact from fiction.

What is Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK?
Local organising to support the most vulnerable in our communitiesCovid-19 Mutual Aid UK is a group of volunteers supporting local community groups organising mutual aid throughout the Covid-19 outbreak in the UK. We focus on providing resources and connecting people to their nearest local groups, willing volunteers and those in need.
We recognise that injustice doesn’t affect everyone equally and whilst we’re all at risk of Covid-19, there are some people who are more vulnerable and need greater support from the community.
The basic idea is to coordinate care efforts for people who are self-isolating, especially if they are part of a more at risk demographic including the elderly, disabled and people with other pre-existing health issues.
We’re also trying to offer support to those people who are feeling most isolated/anxious throughout the pandemic. For people with mental health conditions this scale of panic can be overwhelming and so community support is vital.

Every Mind Matters has now released expert advice and top tips on how to look after your mental wellbeing if you need to stay at home during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. It also includes guidance if you’re feeling worried or anxious about the outbreak.
Please visit: www.nhs.uk/oneyou/
_________________________________________________
Advice to support those who are undertaking social distancing to get through the next few weeks.The government is advising everyone to adopt social distancing measures. If you have an underlying health condition(s) or if you are aged 70 or older, you need to be particularly stringent in following social distancing measures.
We know that during this period it’s really important that you look after your mental and emotional wellbeing as well as your physical health.
As occupational therapists we are in a strong position to advise people on how to stay well while when social distancing. Indeed many people look to us for guidance and now is the time for us to step forward. We strongly urge you to share this advice with other occupational therapists, the people who access your services, their families, your colleagues and other health and care professionals on what they can do to help them cope with social distancing.
Establish a daily routine. Routines provide structure and purpose.Balance your weekly routineso you have a good mix of work (activities that have to be done), rest and leisure.Think about the regular activities that are most important to you. What are the important elements to these? Can you adapt them to carry out in the home? For example, instead of a class, following an online strength and balance routine.Set daily goals to provide purpose and a sense of achievement. This might include working through that list of the things you keep meaning to do but never get round to?Identify the triggers that make you feel lowand look for ways to reduce or manage them.Talk with family, friends and neighboursto help them understand how you feel and how they can help. Can they talk you through using apps on your mobile phone, for instance?Take care of yourself. Eat and drink healthily with plenty of fruit, vegetables and water to support your immune function and energy levels. For more information see the BDA website.Avoid staying still for too long. Exercise and regular movement will maintain fitness and strength. If you are working from home, take breaks and eat away from your “desk.”Have a good sleep routine. If you are struggling, try avoiding tea and coffee in the late afternoon and evening, take a bath, using blackout curtains, listening to gentle music or deep breathing exercises.Keep in touch. Arrange to speak to someone most days on the phone, through social media or over the garden fence. Age UKand Silverline have people to speak to.Download a PDF version to share and print:

Some are words from poems or favourite words/meanings from our groups/friends/local people and maybe an obscure reference to a famous person who once lived in Whalley RangeThanks to Steve for help fixing the signs and Craig for cutting the wood to sizeOh and two bonus signs at JNR8 on the gate and a sign with blackboard paint in the park with chalk for people to write their own messages

Celebrate Whalley Range Community Festival
Words by Jack Hunter (Walk Ride Whalley Range)
Last Sunday, residents of York Avenue, in Whalley Range, held our first play street. With permission from the council, and help from Walk Ride Whalley Range, we closed our road to through traffic for an afternoon. Residents’ cars were still able to come and go, and the street was open to allow for chat and play.
Despite the rain, it was a really great day, with neighbours sitting out on a road that is more used to seeing speeding cars. Everyone benefited from a day with less traffic on a residential street, and there was lots of opportunity to talk about how we might make our street nicer and safer.
Here’s a few things that made it successful:
WE MADE A BIG EFFORT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW AHEAD OF TIMEOur street has a well used WhatsApp group, originally set up as a mutual aid group during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was really useful to gauge interest and let people know what was happening. We also posted flyers through the doors of residents, as well as those on neighbouring streets and local businesses. Mindful of the mix of people who live in our neighbourhood, someone provided an Urdu translation to go on the flyers.
EVERYONE MUCKED INBecause we’d let everyone know, lots of our lovely neighbours then helped in various ways to make it a success. As well as those who helped set up, and those who were road stewards on the day, we had donations of chairs and equipment. Someone helped with printing, someone else with the translation to ensure we were being as inclusive as possible. Others helped post our flyers. It was a brilliant team effort and, because so many people got involved, it was lots of fun.
WE DIDN’T MAKE IT INTO AN ‘EVENT’A play street is not a street party – it’s an experiment, designed to test what your road would be like if it was designed for people, rather than cars. We wanted it to look and feel as though it could be a normal day, not a one-off event. Keeping it low key was also essential given the local lockdown in Manchester – given the rules around gatherings and social distancing, we definitely didn’t want big crowds of people in our road.
WE DID LOTS OF TALKING AND LISTENINGThere’s lots of interest on our street about how to tackle speeding. The play street was a great opportunity to talk together about what we could do, working with the council where necessary. In the days afterwards, we circulated a short, anonymous survey on our WhatsApp group to get feedback and suggestions for how to improve it next time.
WE’RE KEEPING THE MOMENTUM!Everyone has been super positive about the day, so we’re already planning our next one in September. If people are up for it, we could even think about doing it much more regularly.
Manchester City Council have recently announced steps to encourage people to hold play streets, including removing the application fee previously attached to similar traffic orders. If you are living in Whalley Range and are interested in organising a play street for your road, email WhalleyRange@WalkRideGM.org.uk for support and help to make it happen.
If you live elsewhere in Greater Manchester, check our list of local groups, and if there isn’t one where you live then get in touch with Walk Ride GM for support on how to go about finding people who also want to improve their streets and forming a Walk Ride subgroup together – content@walkridegm.org.uk.

WHALLEY RANGE FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
For almost 20 years, Whalley Range for Peace and Justice (WRPJ) has held a card-writing event in St Margaret’s Church in Whalley Range on the first Saturday in December.
These have been in support of Amnesty International’s “Write for Rights” campaign.
This is a campaign where people are encouraged to write messages of support to people around the world who have suffered injustice.
Or to write to those in authority who could help end the injustices.
This year’s campaign runs from 2nd November until 31st December.
It covers 10 cases of injustice. Amnesty provide information booklets which describe the cases and advise where to write to and what to say.
Your communications may be by post, email or social media. Covid 19 has meant a rethink by WRPJ this year.
If Lockdown#2 ends as stated on December 2nd there will be a card writing event at St Margaret’s Church, Rufford Road, M16 8AE on Saturday 12th December from 12 noon to 5pm.
Numbers will be strictly limited and all social distancing measures that apply to community facilities will be in full force, including a one way system for entry and exit.
There will be 4 ‘sittings’ of one hour each at 12 noon, 1.15, 2.30 and 3.45.
A maximum of 6 people from one household or bubble may sit at a table together. Smaller groups and individuals will be seated in a COVID appropriate fashion.
Masks must be worn in the church by anyone aged 11+ unless you have an exemption.
We cannot replicate the atmosphere of our normal events when we pack well over 100 people into the church at any given point, but some elements will be preserved. For example there will be stalls by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, News from Nowhere and Kimbilio plus the popular second hand bookstall.
There will also be a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses.
Sadly refreshments cannot be served so you will have to bring your own flask!
And there will be no children’s activity table but children are welcome to bring their own activities to do at your table.
If you would like to come along please email WRPJ2020@gmail.com
and indicate your preferred time and the names of the people in your party, giving your mobile phone number.
Your preferred time may not be available, but we will do our best.

Manchester Care and Repair: Big Energy Saving Week 2020 20 Ways to Save
Save in the kitchen
Use a bowl to wash-up rather than running a tap, reduce your washing machine use by one cycle a week, and only fill the kettle with the water you need and you could save around £36 a year in the kitchen.A dripping tap can waste more than 5,300 litres of water a year, so make sure your taps are properly turned off and change washers promptly when taps start to drip.Save in the bathroomSpend one minute less in the shower each day and a family of four could save £75 a year on energy and water bills.A running tap wastes more than 6 litres of water every minute, so turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face.Replacing an inefficient shower head with a water efficient one could save a household of four people around £70 a year off gas bills and around £115 a year off water bills.Save on lightingTurn your lights off when you’re not using them. If you switch a light off for just a few seconds, you will save more energy than it takes for the light to start up again. This will save you around £14 a year on your annual energy bills.Replace your bulbs as and when you can with energy efficient LEDs – on average it could save about £35 a year on bills.
Save on appliancesTurning your appliances off standby mode can save you £30 a year and remember not to leave laptops and mobile phones on charge unnecessarily.
Save on heatingIf you have a timer on your central heating system, set the heating and hot water to come on only when required.If you turn down your main thermostat by 1 degree, you can around 10% on your energy bill. But make sure your home is warm enough during cold weather. Cold homes can damage your health.Installing a room thermostat, a programmer and thermostatic radiator valves and using these controls efficiently could save you around £75 a year.Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows and check for draughts around windows and doors.Draught-proofing of window and doors and blocking cracks in floors and skirting boards can save around £20 a year on energy bills.
Save by switchingUse the Citizens Advice energy price comparison tool to see if you can save money by switching energy tariff or supplier.
Save by getting extra supportDo a home energy check to find out about savings of up to £130 a year on household energy bills. Visit the Simple Energy Advice website and get personalised energy savings advice.
Visit your local Citizens Advice office to get advice in person about how to reduce your energy bills.
If anyone in your household is receiving benefits, contact your energy supplier and see what support they can provide. They should be able to tell you what help is available through the Energy Company Obligation.
If you need a little extra help from your energy company including large print bills or more support during a power cut you can apply to be added to your electricity network priority services register.
Check if you are eligible for the Warm Home Discount. Energy suppliers can provide rebates to households on certain benefits. The rebate is £140 for 2019/20 and you should contact your electricity supplier directly to see if you qualify.
If you live in Wales, contact the Welsh Government’s Nest scheme on 0808 808 2244 to see if you are eligible for a package of free home energy efficiency improvements such as a new boiler, central heating or insulation. If you are aged 60 or over and live in Manchester, you can also contact Manchester Care Repair for help support with your energy costs. Or come and visit us at one of our upcoming events this Big Energy Saving Week, to see how we can help you.___________________________________________________________________________________

Pride in AgeingIn June we celebrated the launch of Greater Manchesters brand new Pride in Ageing programme alongside Sir Ian McKellen.
Led by the LGBT Foundation, Pride in Ageing aims to ensure that the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people who are aged 50 and over are recognised and met by services across Greater Manchester, particularly in social care and housing.
It will also tackle the social isolation faced by LGBT people over 50, which we know is commonplace and has a significant impact on their health, happiness and wellbeing.
An Advisory Group of older LGBT people has been set up to ensure that the views from their communities feed directly into the project and its delivery. The Group is now full but please contact Lawrie Roberts if you would like to be involved.
Age-Friendly Manchester have funded this new programme of work, together with the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub, Manchester City Councils Adult Social Care and Barclays Spectrum.
If you would like any further information on Pride in Ageing, please email Lawrie or call 07541 977 854.Bringing Manchesters Older Chinese Community Together Through Art
Older Chinese communities in the UK often experience high levels of social and cultural isolation. Supported by the Baring Foundation, Manchesters Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA) is exploring how art and creativity can bring older Chinese residents together.
Zoe Dunbar, the Director of CFCCA has written a blog for the Baring Foundation about their activity to date.
CFCCA have delivered a series of creative workshops to develop writing and language skills, ran script writing sessions for residents to tell their life stories and practised traditional Chinese block printing using recycled materials. Activity has been delivered in collaboration with Wai Yin Chinese Community Centre and the local Sheung Lok radio station.
Read Zoes blog on the Baring Foundation website to find out more.
The CFCCA is currently recruiting for a new Age-Friendly Projects Coordinator role. See further details under the Employment, Volunteering and Training Opportunities section later in this eBulletin.Elaine, Chair of the Age Friendly Manchester Older Peoples Board pedalling up a smoothie at Celebrate Festival in Whalley Range.Changes to the TV License Fee for over 75s

Are we getting there?
Age-friendly transport across Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester Older People Network Conference Report Liz Jones, Macc
The following 23 questions were raised by participants during the course of the morning workshop.
Some were posed to Andy Burnham and the expert panel in the afternoon. The rest have now been submitted to Transport for Greater Manchester and the Greater Manchester Ageing Hub for responses.
How will we prioritise investment and coordination of community transport schemes (such as Ring and Ride)?How do we get a complimentary, localised, fully accessible, funded, door to door transport service?How can the design of transport be improved? This can include better information, bus stops, seating, interchanges, training etc.How can we ensure that there is a consistent good level of training for understanding various needs across all transport?How can we expand and better tap into existing community assets, such as volunteer schemes, minibuses, taxi sharing etc?How are you going to better involve older people in decision-making around public transport? Are bus drivers currently given training run by older people/people with disabilities? If not, could they be in future?How do we involve older people in designing new provision For example, there are issues with the new Bolton interchange which could potentially have been avoided with a better commitment to co-design.Why cant free bus pass be used before 9:30am when a lot of hospital and health appointments are made before 9:30 am?Can we develop a more comprehensive network for Park and Ride?It is difficult to access toilets at main transport stations/interchanges. Can transport maps highlight local toilets and flag up community toilet schemes and/or publicise other nearby toilets?11.Why isnt parking on pavements illegal in Greater Manchester?
12.Is a congestion charge for Manchester a consideration looking ahead?
13.How do we propose to make community transport more age-friendly, along the lines of the Ring and Ride scheme?
14.When is re-regulation of buses going to happen?
15.Can transport links/routes be linked or better integrated with hospital and health care locations? For example, having maps on display of bus, tram and train routes, indicating stops and routes for local hospitals and health centres.
16.Promotion what currently available, such as taxi vouchers, hailer cards etc. While these are available, they are not sufficiently known about. How do people find out about these? Can they be promoted more widely and at relevant times?
17.Are you surveying older people satisfaction of public transport? If so, can you share the results with the GMOPN?
18.Do you think it is right to ask people to surrender their bus pass in order to qualify for the taxi voucher scheme? Could both offers be flexible?
19.How do we help people not on main routes? Even a five-minute walk can be a real challenge.
20.Who can we can communicate with to get answers to questions and to be able to feed our ongoing concerns into transport planning?
21.Can we have real-time information displays at bus stops, as the case with trams and trains?
22.How are you going to better synchronise the bus, tram and train services?
Once we have received responses, we will publish a set of replies on our website at

In Greater Manchester, we have a much higher number of people that are in contact with mental health services than many other parts of the country.Yet research into mental health has also not always focused on the issues that are relevant or important to local people.
This is why Health Innovation Manchester (HInM) and the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GM HSCP) want to work together with residents to make sure research focuses on what matters to local people.

A consultation on the proposed bus franchising scheme for Greater Manchester is currently taking place.
It’s your chance to help shape the way bus services are run in the city region.
The proposal would place buses under Greater Manchester’s control, which would allow decisions about fares, timetables and routes to be made centrally – much like in London.
Three-out-of-four public transport journeys in Greater Manchester are made by bus, so we’d appreciate it if you took the time to share your views.
An improved and more widely used bus service would have a positive impact on health fewer cars being used would result in less congestion and less air pollution.

Over the Counter Medicines
People in Manchester are being asked to give their views on the recommendations by NHS England to change how some medicines are prescribed.
On average the NHS spends around £569 million a year on prescriptions for medicines that you can buy yourself from a pharmacy or supermarket without needing a prescription from a doctor. For example, pain killers like paracetamol.
NHS England have created new guidance to stop doctors giving prescriptions for medicines for 33 small illnesses. Please complete this survey so that we can understand how these changes will effect Manchesters patients, public and local communities.
The Mayor announced the winners of his Age-Friendly Challenge during Greater Manchester “Doing Ageing Differently†conference.
Held, in February 2019, the event brought together over 300 key figures in ageing from across the country.
Whalley Range was one of 32 areas from across Greater Manchester to be recognised by the award scheme designed to showcase the best places to grow older in the city-region.
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester said:
“I launched this challenge last year to unearth the positive work I know is going on in Greater Manchester, to find practical examples of what age-friendly really means, and to share best practice across the city-region.
The response to this challenge has been fantastic. The variety of age-friendly work displayed from all our winners clearly shows the commitment from our local communities to make sure that people in Greater Manchester are living not just longer, but happier and healthier too.â€
Chris Ricard from Age-friendly Whalley Range/Whalley Range Community Forum who applied on behalf of the area said:
“We are thrilled to hear the news that Whalley Range has been recognised as an age-friendly neighbourhood for 2019!
We will be celebrating this award with groups and residents of all ages as a neighbourhood committed to working towards making Whalley Range a great place to grow older.â€
The award recognises the hard work that organisations and older people in Whalley Range have carried out to make their area a great place to grow older.
An age-friendly neighbourhood is a place where: residents are committed to looking out for each other, older people feel they can have a say in what going on in their local area, and there are spaces where people can get together.
The award also showed that Whalley Range is committed to helping older people feel: independent, safe and secure, and informed about what is going on in their local area.
Submissions to Mayor Age-Friendly Challenge were reviewed by an expert panel chaired by Prof. Chris Phillipson from MICRA at The University of Manchester. Other panellists included representatives from Greater Manchester Older People Network, Ambition for Ageing, and the Centre for Ageing Better.
Notes to editors
Greater Manchester is the UK first age-friendly city region, as recognised by the World Health Organization.
The Mayor Age-Friendly Challenge represents a commitment to shape a city-region that recognises the contribution older people make and the value in keeping all residents socially, physically and economically active for longer.
The challenge was launched by Andy Burnham during Greater Manchester Festival of Ageing in July 2018, where he called for the voluntary and community sector, public services, and older people groups to submit their best age-friendly schemes and help deliver more age-friendly neighbourhoods across Greater Manchester.

The Mayor Age-Friendly Challenge was delivered by Ambition for Ageing on behalf of Greater Manchester Combined Authority Ageing Hub which works to improve older people quality of life in Greater Manchester, addressing the challenges and embracing the opportunities the UK is facing in response to a rapidly growing older population.

We are a group of local residents who are starting a local climate change action group. Climate change is a huge threat to us and the planet. Although it is easy to despair, we can make a difference by working with others for change and we want to do this in our area.
This new group will work to support each other to make positive changes to our lives and community and to act for change. Members will decide what we do and can get involved in as much or as little as you like ideas so far include learning sessions, supporting each other, climate campaigning, and linking with other groups in and beyond the area.
We are hoping to build a supportive group that meets locally to share ideas and strategies and organise activities and campaigns. Everybody is very welcome to join no matter what your current level of knowledge. You are invited to contribute your skills and energy to build a self sustaining, learning, active group.
Come to our meetings from 11-1pm at the JNR8 Youth and Community Centre 82 Cromwell Avenue Whalley Range M16 0BG.
There is the option to eat lunch together afterwards, please bring your own veggie food. For more info see the Whalley Rangers Facebook Group, Twitter @RangeAction or contact climateaction@whalleyrangers.org

The Greater Together Manchester Winter Night Shelter is a rolling shelter, based at ten different churches close to the city centre between October and April. It provides 12 homeless men, referred from other organisations, with a bed and a hot meal each night in a relaxed and homely atmosphere.
The Night Shelter will be coming to St John, and St Edmund in Whalley Range, in January 2019.
Volunteers are needed for the shelter on shifts of your choosing, including evenings, overnights and mornings. Outside shelter hours, help to cook or to do laundry is also needed. No previous experience is needed as full training is provided. The next volunteer training session is on Monday 17th December.
They are looking for volunteers from all walks of life who can get involved with a variety of shelter tasks. Shifts are flexible to fit around many peoples own commitments. Many of their guests have English as an additional language and can sometimes be limited. Knowledge of other languages and ability to communicate without English is very useful at times. Applications are particularly encouraged from those with experience of cooking.
The role is suitable for those over the age of 18.
The shelters run every night from January to April.
Shift times are Morning 6am 9:30am;
Evening 5:30pm 10pm;
Overnight 9:30pm 6:30am.
There is an application process to volunteer with GTMNS and it must be completed before attending a shelter. You will need to complete an online application form which will ask for 2 references. When they have received satisfactory references, volunteers will be invited to introductory training either as part of a large group or a small one. Once training is completed, volunteers are then added to a calendar and will be able to select their own shifts.

https://www.facebook.com/hungryJNR8/We are well on our way to realising our dream for our community kitchen!We have now secured grants for a new energy efficient boiler from the Manchester City Councils Neighbourhood Investment Fundand a new commercial cooker thanks to a grant from the Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund! We have received a fantastic donation of pre-loved stainless steel kitchen equipment and an offer to carry out some of our building work from ISG a dynamic construction company currently working in schools across Greater Manchester The Whiz project young people who are working towards their Duke of Edinburghs Award have recorded interviews with building users to find out their thoughts about the current facilities and the benefits of a new kitchen.Listen to some of the interviews here:
Please Help! We are struggling to feed and support our hungry community.
Our kitchen is a shambles and weve had to suspend lots of our vital cooking activities!
Food has always been a very important aspect of our work in terms of bringing people together, cook and eat: we have produced cookery guides and recipe books: our under 12 cookery class appeared on Ready Steady Cook!
We love Whalley Range and talked to residents about what they want and this is what they said:
Cookery lessons, Meal budgeting advice, Catering courses, Cook Taste sessions, Community Meals
Healthy meal ideas, Cheap nutritious meal plans, Heritage ESOL food courses, Intergenerational cooking
Learning about vitamins food sources, Healthy nutritious meals for one, Family cooking sessions,
With a fully accessible professional kitchen we know we could meet these priorities and more!
Since 1998 we have been based at the JNR8 Youth Community Centre – the leased community rooms of
Manley Park Church providing a range of inclusive projects for our richly diverse community.
There are 2 main charitable organisations based here.
Whalley Range Community Forum (WRCF) sources funding and facilitates daytime activities for the community and a weekly social and cooking group for people experiencing mental ill health.
Whalley Range Youth Opportunities Association (WRYOA) runs an evening Youth Club and holiday play schemes.
The Church has made major improvements over the past years: a new hall floor, energy efficient boiler and new double glazed windows and doors. WRCF has sourced funding for furniture, laptops and storage for the many groups who provide activities/classes.
We have decided to all come together to fundraise for a new professional, accessible kitchen to improve health wellbeing. We named our project: Generate our Kitchen as our building JNR8 is pronounced Generate!
With one part-time member of staff and a voluntary committee for WRCF and WRYOA along with fantastic teams of volunteers and sessional youth workers we are the only local centre serving the community with activities for all ages and cultures, providing crisis support and celebrating the area by bringing people together to improve mental and physical health and wellbeing and raising aspirations.
Based on consultations at our events we aim to:Help reduce isolation by providing social groups,
Encourage people to engage with others: Coffee mornings, Afternoon Tea, Support groups
Improve employability and confidence/self-esteem building
Provide ESOL support with English speaking and writing
Provide basic and improvers computer skills with internet access
Run Work clubs and Computer classes
Provide Youth provision and Play schemes including Duke of Edinburgh Award, Girls Night
Promote Healthy eating Health Wellbeing and Fitness classes
Reduce the stigma around mental ill health
Provide crisis support including Hate Crime reporting centre and Foodbank voucher distribution
Thai Boxing
Tai Chi
Women Health
Age-friendly
Child Friendly
Hate Crime Awareness and International Women Day events
Debates
Book and film launches
Babies toddlers groups
Meetings
Advice sessions
Something for the youngest to the oldest, the Celebrate festival at our community centre along with a wide range of other activities for everyone of all ages in our richly diverse community!
We love living in Whalley Range and as a Community Forum we have talked to residents about what they want!
Cookery lessonsMeal budgeting adviceCatering coursesCook Taste sessionsCommunity MealsHealthy meal ideasCheap nutritious meal plansHeritage food coursesIntergenerational cookingLearning about vitamins food sourcesHealthy nutritious meals for oneFamily cooking sessionsA fully accessible professional kitchenPractical ESOL cookery sessionsProduction of a tried tested cook bookAnd much more!
The JNR8 Youth Community Centre is the base for the Whalley Range Community Forum, Whalley Range Youth Opportunities Association Whiz Youth Project, Celebrate, Age-friendly Whalley Range Chorlton and Whalley Range Mental Health Wellbeing.
We lease the building from Manley Park Methodist Church from Monday to Friday providing a range of classes, events and activities including an evening week-day youth club and holiday play for children.
On Friday evenings the volunteer-led wellbeing group Time to Change meet up offering support and removing the stigma around mental ill health by running a social group with pool, music, Tai Chi, bike repairs and to prepare, cook and eat a meal together.
The Church provides regular fundraising coffee mornings and soup lunches for the community and they let the building out on Saturday evenings to Youth on Solid Ground for their weekly youth club.
Our groups love to cook and want to promote and share cooking and eating together to reduce isolation, improve skills and employability and to improve their health.
We could provide so much more if our currently inadequate and practically unusable kitchen was updated and fit for purpose!
Representatives of the groups who share the building are applying for funding under the banner

Generate our Kitchen All about us!
The JNR8 (pronounced Generate) Youth Community Centre is the weekly base for the Whalley Range Community Forum, Whalley Range Youth Opportunities Association (WRYOA) Whiz Youth Project, Celebrate, Age-friendly Whalley Range Chorlton and Whalley Range Mental Health Wellbeing.
The JNR8 centre is a fantastic community resource – and we run a wide range of activities during the week for all ages, including ESOL, fitness, confidence building and social and self-help groups for people to come together to reduce isolation/encourage participation and friendships.
Cookery has always been a big part of our community engagement at JNR8 (our under 12 group even featured on Ready Steady Cook!) and we have a long history of providing community meals and food projects including the Food 4 Us cookery toolkit, Heritage cookery projects and intergenerational recipe sharing.
We are currently fundraising to improve our kitchen – as many of our cookery and nutrition classes have had to be put on hold as the kitchen is not fit for purpose.
Please find the link to our short survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/5P3BN82Our exciting plan is to access funding to turn our current inadequate facilities into a professional kitchen so we can resume all the regular classes – and provide so much more!
We run a work club under the banner Generating Opportunities: a professional kitchen will enable us to provide catering, cooking and nutrition classes to improve skills and employability and projects that use cookery to improve English
In addition we want to resume our shared community meals – such as the successful Come 4 Tea, Festive Feasts and share recipes from around the world.
The Building is lovely – fantastic multi-use hall, storage for our projects, a chill out room, an IT room for computer beginners and improvers, a classroom for learning, teaching, presenting, planning and meeting.
Now look at our existing kitchen…
