Volunteering, training and job opportunities 

 
Volunteer Opportunities at the People’s History Museum

Do you enjoy meeting new people? Do you enjoy listening to people and sharing stories?
People’s History Museum is looking for volunteers to help create a welcoming social space within the museum.

The museum is creating The Common Room – an open, inclusive and collaborative social space within the museum where visitors and groups from a diverse range of backgrounds can explore what they have in common.

The room will provide space to:
·   Meet people
·   Have conversations
·   Try new things
·   Exchange knowledge, skills and experience
·   Create things together.

Join us in creating a welcoming social space where people can meet to share and exchange ideas of what we have in common.

The deadline for expressing an interest is Thursday 12 March 2020 at 5.00pm. Full details about the roles can be found on the People’s History Museum website.

 

The views of over 50s are really important when it comes to Manchester’s Gay Village. For many, it is a place of history, heritage, activism and memories. We need to make sure people aged over 50 can continue to enjoy and use the Village.

Make sure your voice is heard in the Gay Village Survey.

Manchester’s Local Plan: Have Your Say

Development in Manchester is at record levels: investment here is creating jobs and new homes are being built. At the same time, we want any future growth to support our ambition to be a zero-carbon city by 2038 or before. To make sure this happens, we’re reviewing our existing Local Plan and its key issues, and we want you to have your say.

The Local Plan sets out Manchester’s approach to development and is used to guide decisions on planning applications across the city.

To make sure it fits our needs and ambitions for the next 15 years, the first step is to look at what the new local plan should cover: we call this the Issues Consultation stage. It’s an important part of the process, so we want to hear from residents, businesses, local organisations, the development industry, and neighbouring councils. Your views will help shape Manchester’s future development.

You can read about the Plan on our online issues consultation, or view a hard copy in the Central Library.

The deadline to make comments is 5pm on Friday 3 April 2020:

Don’t Get Caught Out By Flu

Flu occurs every year, usually in winter. It’s a highly infectious disease with symptoms that come on very quickly. The most common symptoms of flu are fever, chills, headache, aches and pains in the joints and muscles, and extreme tiredness.

The flu vaccine provides the best protection available against a virus that can cause severe illness. There are always plenty of urban myths that circulate from people who claim that the flu jab gave them the flu – this is scientifically impossible as the flu vaccine given to adults isn’t a live vaccine.

If you’re over 65, or have certain long term health conditions, you’re entitled to a free flu jab and should book in with your GP or visit your local pharmacist to get your free flu jab.
