Good things are happening across Manchester

Through support from the In Our Nature programme, 87 projects have been set up over the past three years across Manchester – from bike libraries and clothing swap shops to community gardens and home energy efficiency projects. These have not only had a positive impact on the environment but have enabled people to meet neighbours, learn new skills and leave a lasting impact.
