Background Information for Applicants Background Information for applicants Manchester Young Lives (MYL) is a registered charitable company that has been working with children and young people in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Manchester for over 40 years. MYL's work originated in the development of local community managed adventure playgrounds across the city, alongside the provision of related play and youth work activities. MYL has steadily grown and developed in recent years, now employing over 50 staff, it has become one of the largest providers of children’s services in Manchester. Adventure playgrounds were set up as a response to a lack of children's play and leisure opportunities. In the 1970s parents, children and staff built the playgrounds themselves, offering children a friendly and supportive environment with supervised play provision. There are currently three adventure playgrounds located in Ardwick, Moss Side and Wythenshawe, all of which are professionally built and contain indoor and outdoor play facilities. The outdoor facilities all have large play structures such as swings, climbing nets and zip wires that local children would not otherwise be able to experience. MYL is proud of the unique service adventure playgrounds offer local communities and retains its focus on supporting children and young people facing disadvantage. MYL believes that the integration of play, confidence building, and education within an informal and supportive environment, provides a genuine opportunity for early intervention to prevent children and young people from falling outside mainstream services and becoming socially excluded. Play Provision All provision is OFSTED registered and works with approx. 2,500 children and young people aged 5- 13 years. Teams of trained staff deliver year round open access after school and holiday play sessions in all three adventure playgrounds. In addition to the centre based provision the outreach play programme provides supervised play sessions in local parks and green spaces in North and East Manchester, Hulme and Wythenshawe. Youth Provision Many young people attending the play sessions naturally migrate to the evening youth sessions once they reach the age of 12. Our youth provision which works with over 500 young people aged 12-19 years and is based in Moss Side, Hulme, Ardwick, Wythenshawe and Higher Blackley. Staff work with young people to develop their personal and social skills through both drop-in and targeted provision. Provision is located in areas of significant need where young people are at risk of engagement in anti-social behaviour, gang culture and crime. We are looking to appoint a Deputy Play & Youth worker to work as part of a mobile team of staff providing both open access and targeted play and youth work activities. The successful candidate will be able to inspire and lead a small team under the guidance of the Area Play Manager. A passion for working with children and young people and a commitment to making a difference to local communities is key to the success of this post. Hours of work include after school and evenings Monday-Friday. Manchester Young Lives. Registered Charity No 1070668. Registered Company No 3450197.

  • Higher Blackley, Harpurhey and Charlestown Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile
    Higher Blackley, Harpurhey and Charlestown Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile Summary • There are just over 21,300 households in the Higher Blackley, Harpurhey and Charlestown Neighbourhood. • The neighbourhood contains an interesting mixture of relatively young, single people living in low cost rented accommodation (“Renting a Room”), less well off families (“Families with Needs” and “Childcare Squeeze”) and more deprived older people (“Low Income Workers” and “Seasoned Survivors”). • Over two-thirds of households across the neighbourhood contain people whose social circumstances suggest that they may need high or very high levels of support to help them manage their own health and prevent them becoming high users of acute healthcare services in the future. In Harpurhey alone, 9 out of 10 households contain people who may need high or very high levels of support. Introduction This profile provides more detailed information about the people who live in different parts of the neighbourhood. It draws heavily on the insights that can be gained from the Mosaic population segmentation tool. What is Mosaic? Mosaic is a population segmentation tool that uses a range of data and analytical methods to provide insights into the lifestyles and behaviours of the public in order to help make more informed decisions. Over 850 million pieces of information across 450 different types of data are condensed using the latest analytical techniques to identify 15 summary groups and 66 detailed types that are easy to interpret and understand. Mosaic’s consistent segmentation can also provide a ‘common currency’ across partners within the city. Mosaic can provide insights into how and why people make decisions about their health and care and how they are likely to respond to services.

  • 'After Housing Costs' Child Poverty Rate from Highest to Lowest
    Notes: This spreadsheet ranks wards in Greater Manchester by their 'after housing costs' child poverty rate from highest to lowest. This is done using data published by End Child Poverty in 2019. The data also ranks areas based on the proportion of the population in a ward classified as black and minority ethnic (BAME) in census data. The higher the proportion of people who are BAME in a ward the higher the rank. This data shows that areas with the highest BAME populations in Greater Manchester are often the areas with the highest rates of child poverty.

  • A Strategic Regeneration Framework for North Manchester
    A Strategic Regeneration Framework for North Manchester A Strategic Regeneration Framework for North Manchester Prepared by: In association with Lambert Smith Hampton 1 Contents Foreword by Cllr. Richard Leese Leader, Manchester City Council PART I THE CONTEXT 1.Context 2.The Vision 3.Key Opportunities 4.Regeneration Principles PART II THE STRATEGY THE PEOPLE 5.Education 6.Health 7.Culture 8.Crime and Safety EMPLOYMENT 9.Employment and Economic Development THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 10.Community Character 11.Housing 12.Transport 13.Parks and Open Spaces 14.Shopping CONCLUSION Front Cover: Cheetham Community Mural 3 4 FOREWORD The North Manchester Strategic Regeneration Framework is the culmination of 12 months of intensive work. It embodies the unity of purpose shown by the community, City Council, private and public sectors in developing a strategy for transforming North Manchester into a diverse, high quality residential area with a strong economy and first class public services. There is a common understanding that this transformation will require, not only excellence and imagination in the delivery of public services particularly, but also commitment, quality and ambition from the private sector, particularly in the area of housing provision. This partnership of community, public and private sector organisations is essential in creating the best results for North Manchester. Our plans for the future respond to the regeneration potential of the area, its strong community and the inherent opportunities of its proximity to the city centre. It builds on the opportunities being developed through the Manchester Knowledge Capital initiative such as the growing city centre economy and the creation of the Central Business Park on the Oldham Road.
