A hands-on collage and mapping workshop asking: what does Longsight really look like to the people who live here?

A Map of Attention is a hands-on creative workshop led by writer and facilitator Hana Elmarakbi, exploring how a place is shaped by the stories we tell about it and what happens when we tell different ones.

Longsight has long been characterised in national and local news through stories of crime and deprivation. But alongside those accounts exists another Longsight entirely, one of community organising, artistic practice, mutual care, celebration and decades of resident-led action.

This session puts the story of the neighbourhood back where it belongs: in the hands of the people who live it.

Starting from a collection of images depicting Longsight: newspaper headlines, lived experiences, favourite places, community moments that participants will explore together the different ways the neighbourhood is seen, experienced and remembered. Hana will then guide the group through using those images to collage a new map of Longsight. One that is made by us, for us.

No experience necessary. All materials provided.

This workshop is supported by The Arab British Centre's As We Are, Might Have Been and Could Be programme.

Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust are working with Manchester City Council's Women's Health and Justice Programme, and Manchester Women's Aid, to understand women's health in Manchester.

We’re asking local partners, community and voluntary organisations, faith groups, services, researchers, and people with relevant experience to share evidence that can inform a review of women's health outcomes in Manchester.

We're especially keen to hear about women facing the greatest health inequalities in Manchester.

These have been identified as disabled women, women from minoritised ethnic communities (particularly Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Black African and Black Caribbean women), women from different religion or belief groups (particularly Muslim and Jewish communities), LGB women, trans women and non-binary people, and women living in areas of high deprivation (particularly Harpurhey and Collyhurst, Miles Platting, Gorton and Openshaw and Wythenshawe, Woodhouse Park and Benchill, and Longsight and Ardwick).

If you submit evidence, please tell us where you can:

· What it is and who it's from

· When it covers

· Who or which community it relates to

· Where in Manchester it applies

· Anything we need to know to interpret it properly

How to submit: Please send evidence to either tracy.epton@manchester.ac.uk or cath.prescott@gmmh.nhs by Wednesday 19th August 2026.

Please don't include identifiable personal information unless you have clear permission to share it. If your evidence includes sensitive personal experience, please anonymise or summarise it before sending it to us.

How to Make Accessible, Inclusive Self-Introductions

How to Make Accessible, Inclusive Self-Introductions

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The process of introductions during group gatherings are an important way to ensure a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible experience for all. Here is a recommended overview of what to share when introducing yourself:

Name

Organization and Role

Pronouns (Click here for guidance on personal pronouns.)

Land Acknowledgment (Click here for an interactive map of native lands, and also confirm with Indigenous peoples' organizations in your area)

Brief description of your visual appearance and surroundings. People without vision disabilities take in a lot of visual information about the people and environment around them. To offer context and access for all, provide a brief (a few sentences) visual description of yourself. You may choose to describe your gender identity, race or ethnicity, skin color, hair color and style, whether you have facial hair, what clothing and jewelry you're wearing, and a short description of your background. (Example: I am a white woman with straight brown hair and round red glasses wearing a blue shirt. Behind me is a gray wall with several framed pictures next to a bookshelf.)

Access check-in. If you feel comfortable, sharing your access needs can ensure that they are met. No one should be forced to share their needs, but sharing them helps to destigmatize them. You might say things such as:

"For accessibility, I need people to speak up and keep their hands away from their mouths when they speak"

"I need people to say their names before they speak."

"I may have the camera off from time to time because I need regular short breaks."

"My access needs are taken care of because there is captioning today."

"All my access needs are met."

NHS GM Public Consultations: Proposed Changes to Adult Cardiac & Adult Vascular Surgery Services

# data[].attributes.body
Consultations Deadline: Tuesday 22nd September

1. Proposed changes to adult cardiac surgery services

Cardiac surgery treats serious problems with the heart and major blood vessels. This can include bypass surgery to improve blood flow, repairing or replacing heart valves, treating major blood vessel problems.

2. Proposed changes to adult vascular surgery services

Vascular surgery treats conditions affecting blood vessels such as arteries and veins. These problems can be serious and life-threatening such as blocked blood flow, blood clots and weak blood vessel walls (aneurysms). Most patients will continue to receive all other care locally, including tests and follow-up care.

This is an opportunity for patients, carers, staff and members of the public to have their say on the future of these services before any decisions are made.
