Programme Challenger would like to transfer
£16,944.12 to the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service
(GMFRS) for development of the GMFRS ‘Takeover’ project
following a successful pilot during the recent County Lines
Intensification Period (March 2024) whereby Programme Challenger
collaborated with professionals from a number of partner agencies
(including GMFRS, GMVRU, Catch 22, Early Break, Power 2, and Bury
CST and Bury Youth Services) to co-develop and deliver an immersive
learning experience utilising GMFRS’s fantastic Bury Fire
Training centre to deliver fire safety messages, alongwith broader
safety messages in an interactive way.
Phase 2 will include inviting more young people to take part in the
project which will be delivered during the upcoming summer holidays
in collaboration with GM Complex Safeguarding teams and wider GM
partners. The project will be evaluated and reported on in
September 2024.
