Place Plans are coming...<br />
COMMUNITY<br />
Our staff have recently been out and about in Ardwick, Clayton and Gorton speaking to<br />
residents to find out the type of improvements you would like to see in these areas.<br />
Once we have looked at all of your feedback we<br />
will publish our findings in the form of a Place Plan.<br />
This will inform our customers about what you have<br />
told us, what we intend to do and how we will do it.<br />
If you have any ideas or suggestions<br />
on how to improve your Place, please call<br />
Paul Doherty on 0330 355 1002 or email<br />
paul.doherty@onemanchester.co.uk<br />
Hard work pays off!<br />
We’re pleased to report that a number<br />
of our staff have recently completed their<br />
NVQ Level 2 in Grounds Maintenance.<br />
The group of One Manchester caretakers and grounds<br />
maintenance operatives were able to apply the practical<br />
elements of the course within their daily tasks at the highrise<br />
blocks and in the communities, as well as learning in<br />
the classroom. Achieving the qualification will help them<br />
to complete additional duties such as maintaining the<br />
grounds around the blocks and undertake other jobs in<br />
and around our neighbourhoods to help provide clean<br />
and green spaces for tenants.<br />
Can you help<br />
our new centre?<br />
We’re looking for new voluntary Board<br />
members with the skills and enthusiasm to<br />
develop the Aquarius Centre into a sustainable<br />
community asset.<br />
One Manchester recently took over the lease on the<br />
centre in Hulme, which has remained unused for a<br />
period of time. We intend to return it to being a vibrant<br />
hub in the heart of the community, providing a range of<br />
activities for all ages.<br />
We are particularly looking for people with skills in the<br />
following areas:<br />
• Community engagement • Business planning<br />
• Networking & influencing • Legal & accounting<br />
• Social media & marketing • Fundraising<br />
• Bid writing & funding procurement<br />
Board members will need to commit to attend regular<br />
meetings and will be required to undergo a DBS check.<br />
You will be making decisions that will impact on the lives<br />
of people in Hulme, so this is a fantastic opportunity to<br />
make a positive difference to the local community.<br />
Help make a difference, send your CV to<br />
