Brinnington residents, this is your chance to shape the future of your community.

We've appointed a new Pride in Place Board, bringing together local residents, community representatives and partners to help guide how £20 million is invested in Brinnington.

Before any long-term priorities are agreed, we want to hear from the people who know Brinnington best.

💬 What do you love about Brinnington?
💡 What could be improved?
🏡 What would you like to see in the future?

We want your views, ideas and experiences to help shape the decisions that will make a difference in the years ahead.

There's also still time for community groups to apply for grants of £100 to £500 to help run local conversations and gather ideas from residents.

Applications close on 1 September, so this is your last chance to apply.

Meet the board. Share your views. Apply for a grant. Help shape Brinnington's future⤵️

What do you think the future of adult social care should look like?

Adult social care touches all of our lives, whether through family, friends, work or support we may need ourselves.

In Stockport, we believe great adult social care is about helping people live good lives, stay connected to their communities and remain independent at home for longer.

The Big Conversation on Care is your chance to help shape the future of adult social care. Have your say here: https://orlo.uk/NVb8s

Over the coming weeks we'll be sharing stories from local people whose lives have been changed by adult social care and the support they’ve received. Stay tuned, and find out more using the link in the comments.
