Participants of the We Lead for Legacy programme with Mayor Andy Burnham and Cllr Arooj Shah

We Lead for Legacy: 2023-2024 Greater Manchester Civic and Community Leadership Programme


Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) worked in partnership with She Leads for Legacy to deliver the programme in 2023-2024. More than 30 aspiring leaders from minoritised communities took part in a six-month scheme aimed at developing skills and addressing under-representation in civic and public life.

Participants had access to a series of in-person workshops, online reflection, peer learning groups and an opportunity to work on their communication and story-telling ability through creating a podcast.
