NEWS: Government has announced only older people on Pension Credit will receive Winter Fuel Payment this year.

Pension Credit – Have you topped up?

To make the most of your retirement, claim what is rightfully yours.

If you’ve reached State Pension age, and your weekly income and savings are below £218 for a single person and £333 for a couple, you might be entitled to Pension Credit.

More than a third of people who qualify for Pension Credit aren’t receiving it – and you could be getting up to £1,000 extra a year. Even if you only qualify for a few extra pounds a week, it’s still worth applying, because Pension Credit can unlock additional support that could save you even more money on your Winter Fuel Payment, healthcare, rent and Council Tax.

You can check your eligibility online

Russell Road LGBTQ+ Extra Care Scheme.

UPDATES COMING SOON!

What is extra care?

Extra care is an affordable housing option from not for profit social landlords offering self-contained homes for older people aged 55 or over.  It includes flexible and responsive services to enable them to maintain their independence and stay where they live if their care needs change.

You would have your own apartment and tenancy with access to flexible care and support services if needed. A team of care staff is on site 24/7 rather than being brought in on a visiting basis. This is to ensure better joint working between housing and care teams and to provide a model that can adapt to people’s needs as they change, rather than people having to move when this happens. 

Care provided is in line with domiciliary care, e.g. up to 4 care visits per day. Carers on site over night are there for emergencies and peace of mind. 

Amy and Louise from Great Places and Angela and Kath from MCC can speak to people about Extra Care services in more detail. Information on other Extra Care schemes, and how to apply, will be available if people are interested.  This will also help answer any questions from people who may think this will be the only EC scheme in the city. 

How can someone register for the properties?  

Waiting lists are not open.  Add your name to the mailing list and you’ll receive updates on the scheme. 

How will properties be allocated? 

The shared ownership apartments will be sold on a first come first served basis.

The extra care apartments will be allocated by a panel according to level of care need but someone doesn’t have to be in receipt of care to move.

Is the Extra Care scheme just for Manchester residents?

Yes, but exceptions may be considered by the panel on a case by case basis. 

Who will provide the care?

A care provider hasn’t been appointed yet.  The care and support services will be commissioned by Manchester City Council.

Can the local community access and people in the adjacent block access the facilities in the extra care housing scheme?

Yes. It will be a welcoming and inclusive scheme. Some areas, such as the café area, will be open; some will only be accessed by pre-arranged appointments, such as treatment or meeting rooms; some areas, such as the residential apartment areas on the upper floors, will be for extra care residents and their guests only.

Height/size?

Height of similar size to the previous Spire Hospital building that occupied the site.

The height of the scheme will be 4 and 5 storeys which falls into line with adjacent buildings.

Building has been set back from Russell Road & Carlton Road so as not to feel overbearing on existing two-storey semi-detached dwellings which line these streets.

Extra Care of 5 storeys (around 80 1- and 2-bed apartments).

Shared Ownership block of 4 storeys (around 40 1- and 2-bed apartments).

For further information speak to Alison or Maddi from Triangle Architects.

Will it be net zero?

The development will be as low-carbon as possible.

A ‘fabric first’ approach will be taken which prioritises the energy efficiency of a property from the start of the design and development process.  

An energy and sustainability strategy will be developed with a specialist consultant.

For further information speak to Alison and Maddi from Triangle Architects, Chris from Great Places, and Dave C and Dave H from Rowlinson.

Traffic/parking?

Parking numbers will be discussed and agreed with Manchester City Council Planning. Parking numbers indicated are in line with similar nearby developments.

Planning policy requires 20% of spaces will need to be electric vehicle charging spaces, with provision in place to adapt the other spaces in the future.

Cycle parking spaces will be set by Planning.

Two vehicular access points are provided into the Extra Care parking area, utilising existing access points and taking into account the Whalley Road School Street trial that is currently ongoing.

One vehicular access point is provided into the Shared Ownership parking area, utilising an existing access point.

Parking spaces have been carefully positioned within existing hardstanding areas, to ensure existing trees/roots are not damaged.

Planning conditions attached to any decision will determine site operating and delivery times. A construction traffic management plan will be developed and agreed with Planning officers.

For further information speak to Alison or Maddi from Triangle Architects.

LGBTQ+ majority?

Not exclusive, minimum of 51% LGBTQ+ community. Allocations will be made within the current process for Extra Care, with the additional support of the LGBT Foundation.

Evidence of need within LGBTQ+ community, supported by survey and report by LGBT Foundation (paper copies available for reference (not to give out), links to reports are on consultation website). Issues facing older LGBTQ+ community include social isolation, feeling they may need to go ‘back in the closet’ when accessing housing to meet their needs, partners not being included as family members, less likely to have children, plus more specific needs of trans people, first generation living to older age with HIV.

The aim of RR is to create a centre of excellence in housing, care and support provision for older LGBTQ+ people. This will be supported by Pride in Ageing accreditation which is being rolled out across all Extra Care schemes in the city. This is a quality assessment to ensure Extra Care housing landlords and care providers are, as a minimum, LGBTQ+ affirmative and exclusive.

The scheme will be inclusive and welcoming.

Evidence of need
LGBT Foundation’s 2020 report, Housing, Ageing and Care

• 89% wanted more supported housing options for older LGBT people
• 74% wanted to move into the proposed LGBT extra care scheme 

51% would be uncomfortable in non-LGBT specific care or housing (for over 75s this was higher at

Latest update on Russell Road LGBTQ+ Extra Care Scheme.

Work continues to move forward with the plans for the first purpose-built LGBTQ+ majority Extra Care scheme in the UK at Russell Rd. The scheme will offer high quality, affordable, low carbon housing for social rent and all partners are working towards the pre-planning works as quickly as possible. Preparations are underway to begin site investigations which will help to inform the design.

Despite some slight delays we envisage that we will be able to share our proposed plans with you in the next few weeks and are continuing to work towards submitting our planning proposals before Christmas – following community consultation.

The co-production with the Community Steering Group (CSG) for the proposed scheme has continued positively over the summer with three co-production design meetings since July.

At these meetings, members of the CSG have met with the design team (Great Places, Triangle Architects, Rowlinson Construction and Simon Fenton Partnerships), Manchester City Council and LGBT Foundation to co-produce the top-level design of the scheme ahead of the public planning consultation.

Meetings to date have included making decisions about flat layouts and design features (bathroom access, kitchen access, bedroom layouts) and internal communal spaces (public and customer use, access arrangements, facilities for customers and the wider community and access to outdoor spaces).

These discussions have built on the expertise in the room of designing, building, and managing Extra Care schemes as well as looking at the specific needs of future customers through lived experience.

As part of the co-production, the CSG has also learned about the planning process and the conservation area in Whalley Range to ensure that the building and its purpose enhance the local area.

In September, members of the design team attended a meeting of the Whalley Range Community forum to talk about the planned scheme and were met with a very positive reception from members of the Whalley Range community.

Co-production is not just about the design of the building and will also look at how services will be designed and managed when the scheme opens, and co-production activities with the CSG and wider community are planned throughout the whole process and beyond the doors opening.

To support the co-production process and share news about the proposed scheme, colleagues from Manchester City Council and Great Places joined members of the CSG and LGBT Foundation at Celebrate Festival, Pride on the Range, Manchester Pride, Sparkle Weekend and Chorlton Pride over the summer, and will continue to have a presence at local events as the scheme develops.

In addition, the project team also provided updates at a recent Whalley Range Ward Co-ordination Meeting. The plans were met positively by the group who also shared really useful local knowledge with the design team. Regular progress updates will also be given at future meetings.

The involvement of the CSG is invaluable in ensuring that this first purpose-built LGBTQ+ majority Extra Care scheme will meet the needs of the community when it opens and into the future. You can hear from members of the CSG in the first of a series of videos we’ve made to document the development of the scheme.

If you’re interested in becoming involved in this exciting project, the Community Steering Group is still looking to expand its membership and particularly wants to expand the diversity and inclusion of the group.

Plans for Russell Road, including the first purpose-built LGBTQ+ majority Extra Care scheme in the UK, are now moving forward following the recent appointment of Great Places Housing Group as the new preferred provider.

The Extra Care scheme will form part of the new development on the site of the former Spire Hospital. It will offer affordable self-contained homes for people aged 55+ with access to flexible care and support services on-site if needed, enabling residents to keep their independence and stay in their home if their care needs change. All partners involved are delighted that the project is moving ahead. This is a great opportunity to develop and deliver a Centre of Excellence in Manchester providing safe, respectful and identity confirming Independent Living and Extra Care services for the LGBTQ+ community.

Co-production will be a key part of the scheme’s development. Great Places is working in close partnership with the Community Steering Group (made up of representatives from the local, LGBTQ+ and older people’s communities), LGBT Foundation and Manchester City Council to ensure the scheme achieves its agreed purpose and creates a lasting positive addition to Whalley Range. The Community Steering Group is already meeting with the project team. Initial meetings included a walkabout of the local area to look at how the scheme will fit in with existing buildings and architecture and to map out the existing nearby amenities and services. Planned future sessions include a visit to Elmswood Park Extra Care Scheme, and a trip to the LGBT Foundation Archive at Central Library. These sessions will form an important part of informing the co-production process as the Steering Group works with Great Places to develop design proposals for the planned development.

We also anticipate that site surveys and investigations will also begin at Russell Road in August, so neighbours are likely to see activity on the site at that time. As the project progresses, we will provide further updates, sharing proposed plans with the local community ahead of sending these for planning permission later in the year.

If you’re interested in becoming involved in this exciting project, the Community Steering Group is looking to expand its membership and particularly wants to expand the diversity and inclusion of the group.

Festivals and special events

Local Residents BMHC Development Liaison Group (RBDLG)

Our group was formed as an organic response to development proposals shared at an event at the British Muslim Heritage Centre in November 2021. The group consists of local residents who have concerns about the negative impact that possible over-development of the College Road site will have on our local environment and the quality of human and animal life in the area.

We are a multi-faith, multi-racial group that includes users and non-users of the current BMHC centre. Many of us have actively chosen to live in Whalley Range because of the diversity and tolerant attitudes of Whalley Range people. We have also chosen to live here because we appreciate the benefits of the conservation area in Whalley Range where overdevelopment has historically been controlled and the local ecology, tree population and wildlife have been protected for many decades.

Some of us are direct neighbours adjacent to the site of the British Muslim Heritage Centre and have experienced unacceptable noise, traffic disruption and air pollution resulting from current activities at the centre. We recognise the value of BMHC to regional and local Muslim and non-Muslim communities, and that the BMHC faces significant financial demands from the heavy maintenance costs of preserving the Grade 2* listed building. We understand that BMHC is looking to the development of the College Road site as a means of meeting these financial demands. Our goal as a local residents’ group is to work with BMHC towards a sustainable and appropriate development of the College Road site which balances BMHC’s aspirations at the same time as it enhances the unique character of the Whalley Range conservation area.

We believe we are important stakeholders in our local area, the place where we live – and should be recognised as such by local government and local businesses and other organisations.

We believe that planning decisions should be transparent and accountable and should enhance the health and wellbeing of local residents at the same time as meeting the needs of the organisation proposing the development. So, we are here to collaborate and ensure our voices are heard.

We are an informal group of about 170 people who have a steering committee of about 7 people.

RBDLG Membership: If you would like to sign up as a member of RBDLG, please do so at: https://forms.gle/crGV59eJ8FFLjtiJ8

Dear All

The Whalley Range Community Forum have drawn together ‘a Statement of Intent’ for solidarity, support and actions within our community. We aim to share the statement with as many people as possible within Whalley Range, via local groups, mutual aid/street groups etc.

Many of us are feeling vulnerable, shocked and angry about recent events and the ongoing situation.

Our common aim is to strengthen relationships in our community and to feel reassured by working together.

This page on our website is dedicated to the Statement of Intent and this action – and if any groups would like to share the actions they are taking, please email WRCF – and we will add to the page.

The page will also feature links to wider support and information.

Please send this message through all your networks and share with others

A message to communities from Greater Manchester Police

We understand the uncertainty and worry that people are feeling about current tension, much of which is being fuelled by the widespread sharing of misinformation online which is sometimes being created with the purpose of creating fear and inciting intolerable hate.

Our advice to communities is to remain calm and to try to go about your everyday life. GMP continues to monitor the intelligence to ensure we can respond effectively to any incidents of disorder. And, if we believe there needs to be specific information about anything emerging we will tell people and offer advice.

We are heavily resourced, and we have specialist officers and staff who are working around the clock to tackle these issues and ensure our communities are supported. We are speaking to community leaders and elected representatives regularly to make sure they are apprised of all planned protests known to GMP. People living safely and peacefully, do not deserve to be frightened: we are here to protect you, and we will use all resources and capabilities to do so.

Our message is clear: there is no place for hate in Greater Manchester. If you come here to willingly participate in disorder and crime, we will be at your door, ensuring you answer for your crimes. We will police without fear or favour and use all resources and powers available to ensure those involved in this disgraceful behaviour are dealt with robustly.

This has been demonstrated with our relentless pursuit of offenders, many of whom have been arrested not only in Greater Manchester, but with the support of police colleagues across the UK and we have made crucial arrests in West Yorkshire and Lancashire.

To date, we have made 26 arrests for a variety of offences including assault, violent disorder, possession of weapons, and 20 have been charged. There is work to be done, and we will not relent until we have systematically located and dealt with all those responsible.

We ask that you remain vigilant. If you see something, or hear something, that does not feel right, report it to us so we can act.

All information and reports will be handled with the utmost severity and sensitivity. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, information can be shared anonymously with the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111. We don’t need to know who you are; we just need your information and concerns.

These are challenging times, but we are immensely proud to see the majority of our residents standing together and condemning this unacceptable disorder. Your unwavering support has not gone unnoticed.

Come and visit JNR8 at the times listed below – to see the wonderful work created as part of this year’s Whalley Range Celebrate Festival!

Featuring work from our pre-festival workshops, the Festival day, previous festivals – and including creative creations from Manley Park Church and other local artists!

Come and join the Communi-Tea Party on Saturday from 12-3pm for art, music and food!

The Celebrate festival 2023

 

Contact celebratewhalleyrange@gmail.com to get involved 

The aims of the group are to:-

– Celebrate the talent, diversity and resources of Whalley Range

– Promote a positive image of the area and improve the quality of life

– Encourage participation of the different communities within the area,

– Work in an anti-discriminatory and inclusive way (i.e. be low cost and barrier free).

 

The event is held in partnership between Whalley Range Youth Opportunities Association and the Whalley Range Community Forum.

We are committed to working with  everyone in the community – especially newly established groups who have been supported to develop by the Forum and that all groups are represented to celebrate our diversity and showcase our local talent, building and maintaining links across the community.

We strive to challenge any negative perceptions people may have with regard to Whalley Range by encouraging active cross cultural community involvement in our age-friendly festival events, workshops and activities,strengthening community cohesion and encouraging participation from residents from all of the diverse cultures that exist within our ward.

A consultation was circulated about Celebrate: some of the responses are below.

Q1: How does the Celebrate Festival bring the Whalley Range community together?

Q2: Why is an event that brings members of a very diverse community together important?

• An event which caters for all ages, young, old and in-between! One that has activities that are attractive to a wide range of cultures and interest groups.
• Something for everybody. One of the highlights of the Whalley Range year.
• Whalley Range has a diverse society, lots of religions and cultures and Celebrate Festival reflects this.
• it brings rich, poor, middle-class, working-class, young and old together and those from other ethnic minorities besides English.
• This is an opportunity for the vast number of small voluntary and community groups to showcase what they are involved in and promote their activities.
• It a chance for neighbours to get together in an informal way. With so many people leading busy lives, it really wonderful to see everyone from across the community in the same place enjoying the activities, information sharing and each other company.
• Community cohesion and integration must be encouraged to avoid people feeling isolated, abandoned and rejected. Events like this promote community cohesion.
• In diverse communities like Whalley Range it is often not the case that people from the diverse range all get along. Often the different groups are isolated from each other and never really mix. Events like this are a good way to get people from the wide range of groups to talk to each other and share commonalities as well as celebrate difference.
• It inclusive, everyone has a chance to get involved and it a chance to participate in free workshops
• Because we are all human beings and Celebrate brings human beings regardless of their shape or colour together to have fun and learn. In full: www.whalleyrange.org/communityforum/celebrate-survey-what-did-people-say-about-the-festival/

 

Celebrate is an ideal platform for local community groups to host a stall to promote themselves and get people involved in having a say in their community
