As well as supporting YOUR communities to understand and manage their LTC’s, within the context of Health Inequalities, you will receive the time to develop your learning by receiving a training package which will include community engagement practice (The Framework for Health Creation) and project monitoring and evaluation.

This two year opportunity gives you the time to connect with other organisations in your neighbourhood, build on your community engagement practice and support your learning in project management via a respected and well known anchor community hub; known for its innovative practice;   “We will support you through our ethos of empowering others and valuing our voluntary sector!” – Maqbul Rose – Project Manager, Manchester Settlement
