PCC DN - Challenger Budget – Greater Manchester Schools Competition Finals Event – 8th May 2025.

The GM Schools Competition encourages young people to creatively explore how to raise awareness of and prevent child exploitation amongst their peers, utilising technology/digital tools. The aim of this project is to amplify young voices, to support them with presenting innovative ideas, and to work jointly with them to shape real-world solutions inspired by those directly affected by child exploitation.

The Deputy Mayor will host the finals event on Thursday, May 8th at Manchester Metropolitan University so the winning team can be selected. This winning team will receive a grant of £2000 for the implementation of their idea and will meet with Andy Burnham in person to discuss taking the next steps forward.
