Introducing the Greater Manchester Live Well Podcast
The trailer for a new home-grown series about public services doing things differently with communities is now live. The GM Live Well Podcast explores public services taking a new approach to ensure everyone gets the everyday support they need. It will discover what happens when our communities are trusted to lead and what systems can do to lend ‘a helping hand, not a hoop to jump through’. The series unpacks this approach to prevention as a better way forward. What we call Live Well in Greater Manchester.
