  • Greater Manchester: Our Year in Culture 2018/2019
    GREATER MANCHESTER: OUR YEAR IN CULTURE 2018/2019 CONTENTS 1) INTRODUCTION 2) CULTURE AND SOCIAL IMPACT FUND 3) GREAT PLACE 4) LOOKING AHEAD INTRODUCTION Culture is essential to our identity in Greater Manchester. We have always understood the value of it here. In an ever-troubled and changing world, culture is a foundation in what it is to be Greater Mancunian, outward facing, welcoming and diverse; to express ourselves and forge our place in the world. Culture and creativity has become more prominent in our work over the last year than ever before. Sometimes, culture can be viewed as a ‘nice-to-have’, a ‘bolt-on’ but we take a different view in Greater Manchester; we see culture and creativity as fundamental to who we are, but also essential to the success of our economy and a key enabler for our residents to fulfil their full potential. The Independent Prosperity Review, the largest economic review we’ve undertaken in ten years, highlighted creativity and digital as key areas for economic growth in Greater Manchester, and we must build on this to see our economy and residents flourish. Whilst we can’t know what employment opportunities might look like in ten, 20 or 50 years, we can ensure that our residents have the creative skills necessary to adapt and develop to the jobs of the future. Equally, beyond Greater Manchester, our international reputation, and subsequent visitor economy, is driven by our position as a leading cultural destination. This report outlines how far we have come in the last year, and the hard work of the brilliant 28 organisations we fund through our Culture and Social Impact Fund.

With extensions, the network now consists of six routes running over 69km of network. It has featured on two previous LUPTS bus tours. In 1992, we travelled on the Saturday Manchester-Bury line, and in 2000 on the recently opened Eccles service. 4 May 2013 The extension to Rochdale opened on 28 February 2013. Today, in addition to the Rochdale line, you have time to do other new routes as well. Trams from Rochdale travel through to St Welcome Werburgh’s Road (opened July 2011). Back from St Werburgh’s Road, and changing at Market Street, you can also do the Droylsden line, which opened in February 2013. Half of the original Welcome to today’s LUPTS tour, the 37th since the series began back in 1977.

  • Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and marsh harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. This Second Edition published Summer 2019 Copyright © Open Country 2019 There are some things that some disabilities make “ more difficult. The countryside and wildlife should not be among them.
