We were delighted to provide funding to help 157 community groups across Greater Manchester get together and connect with their neighbours and communities this summer. 

Forever Manchester has always believed that connected communities make stronger, happier communities and love any activity that brings people together. That’s why, every summer and Christmas for the last few years, we’ve awarded funds so that people can host events in their communities.

Many groups are to hosting get togethers, street parties, picnics and garden parties to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, others are holding an afternoon tea in the park, a family treasure hunt, quizzes, music events, sports tournaments and much more.

Here are the many groups and activities we are delighted to support.
