ALDI STOCKPORT

We are Great Minds Together, a non-for-profit organisation based in Stockport, Greater Manchester. We are excited to confirm that we are opening a Community Learning and Engagement Hub (CEAL Hub) at the end of this month, this space will be integral to the work we do with Children and Young People, as well as providing a safe space for parents and carers through our coffee mornings, garden spaces, and also foodbank that will be setup alongside its opening. We are very excited about this new venture, and we are renovating our existing space, and looking for exciting new additions to our hub.

We are a community-led charity tackling poverty at its roots by empowering people and communities to overcome barriers and build sustainable futures. We support children, young people, adults, older people and families who experience multiple deprivation such as low income, unemployment, isolation, migration and disability. Through early intervention, tailored support and community-driven activities, we help people build resilience, develop skills and gain independence. Our work focuses on: 1. Advancing education and training so people gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to reach their potential. 2. Preventing and relieving hardship, sickness and distress through practical support, guidance and community-based programmes. 3. Promoting physical and mental wellbeing, helping people to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives. 4. Championing equality, human rights and diversity so everyone feels valued, respected and included. 5. Supporting young people with mentoring, advice and opportunities that build life skills, confidence and independence. 6. Advancing environmental protection and sustainability by engaging communities in greener and more resilient ways of living. We are proud to be community-led and people-focused, working in partnership with schools, local authorities, funders, national organisations and neighbourhood groups. Each programme we deliver is shaped by local voices and designed to meet real community needs. Guided by our values of empowerment, inclusion, collaboration, innovation and accountability, we’re building stronger, fairer and more connected communities where everyone can thrive.

The Polish Centre Wilno Manchester is a newly established not for profit organisation run by volunteers. The aim of the Centre is to bring together the whole community in a happy and friendly atmosphere and to showcase our Polish traditions, history and culture. It is for the use and benefit of everyone irrespective of age, heritage or connection to Poland. Everyone is welcome at the Centre. We distribute food and essentials to families, the elderly and vulnerable people who are on low income who are struggling financially. We are looking for volunteers, sponsorship and donations to help with the running and maintenance costs of the Centre and we would also like to make use of any surplus food or other goods that you may be able to provide so that we can give it to people who are most in need in the community. There are lots of local families with children who struggle to make ends meet and there are lots of elderly people who are lonely and isolated who could make use of our Centre and what we can offer them. With your help we can make a difference to many people's lives.
