As part of Manchester Met’s 200 year celebrations the university is looking to support student community projects across Greater Manchester.

Do you have an idea that could positively impact your community, a place or space you are part of, an area you spend time in or live, a school or community centre that you attend?

Manchester Met is looking to offer funding support from a pot of £10,000 for project ideas that will make impact in your Greater Manchester community.

What might this look like?

Maybe you have observed a gap in your community, a space that could do with some support or creativity? Perhaps you feel very strongly about a topic or theme and want to build advocacy for this across Manchester? Maybe you are already volunteering or working with a group or community, and you want to support this area further? Do you see inequality, opportunities for better services, do you want to build your voice and find a way to advocate with others? Do you have an idea for a project or see a method for building positive action?

Project ideas might include things such as:

• Cleaning up your alleyways, making community gardens, clearing public spaces, litter picking events, community allotment projects
• Youth projects, youth groups, school events, community learning, skill shares, family workshops or events for the whole family or to support parents
• Food bank volunteering projects, food drive collections, community food learning/sharing, cultural celebration events, cooking classes
• Campaign projects, social activism, developing group projects, collaborative opportunities, fighting against inequalities and working for social justice
• Anything you value and see as important in your community…
