Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The reasons for the decision are:
The Hope Collective is a powerful partnership of cross-sector
organisations with aligned values and a shared vision; to work
together in a spirit of unity to create real change for young
people and communities across the UK.
Formed originally to support the 20th anniversary legacy campaign
for Damilola Taylor, the Hope Collective is driven by a shared
purpose - to establish real change that enables UK's most
vulnerable communities to be free from poverty, violence and
discrimination. Through activity led by the Hope Collective, young
people can discuss their thoughts and solutions on issues that
affect them, their lives and their communities. The goal of the
Hope Collective is to 'change the narrative' for young people and
focus on solutions, not symptoms, and most importantly to focus on
their hopes for the future.
The Greater Manchester VRU has organised its second Hope Hack event
in collaboration with Programme Challenger, to provide a platform
for young people across the ten districts, to explore their
thoughts on how to make the city region a safer and fairer place
for all.
