Greater Manchester

Mama Health & Poverty Partnership (MHaPP)

The Greater Manchester hub, led by Mama Health & Poverty Partnership (MHaPP), is developing a Right to Work campaign to confront employment barriers faced by minoritised communities. Alongside this, they are building a visionary project called the ‘Mama Village’ – a network of residential homes, a converted warehouse for shared community use, and land dedicated to food sustainability and wellbeing.

Building power with 300 employers

We’re calling on 300 employers across Greater Manchester to recognise foreign qualifications and experience in their recruitment. Too often, our communities face discrimination in the job market and are over-represented in the ‘3Cs’ – care, catering, and cleaning. This campaign is about changing that. At the heart of our campaign is gradually building our power, relationships and leadership so that we can create our own community wealth.
