Last week saw the launch of the new Greater Manchester Strategy, Together we are Greater Manchester. The new strategy sets out the vision for the next ten years within the city-region, aiming to build a thriving city region where everyone can live a good life.
The strategy includes detail on how Greater Manchester will further act upon the #BeeWell insights and ensure the voices of young people we hear from are embedded into this work.
#BeeWell will be part of Greater Manchester’s ambitions to put more power in people’s hands, ensure that GM is evaluating how young residents feel and what they think about growing up in the city-region, and taking a data-driven and evidence-led approach.
Insights from our survey data will be harnessed through the Greater Manchester Live Well approach, ensuring there is great everyday support in every neighbourhood:
“The Live Well approach will support residents throughout their lives. It will make sure that every child in Greater Manchester gets the best possible start in life – from birth – with practical support for families through parenting courses, home visits and online resources. And we’ll keep investing in our early years workforce and programmes to improve the health and wellbeing of young children – from health checks to advice on healthy eating. We will tailor our Live Well approach to support young people, ensuring they have access to safe spaces in their community and access to a trusted adult to support their wellbeing. We will use our #BeeWell survey insights and work alongside our Youth Combined Authority, youth voice groups and youth and play workforce to build our Live Well offer and plans for young people.”
