  1. Ward-specific objectives

    Nature and Biodiversity:

    • Successfully deliver the My Wild Neighbourhood nature and biodiversity improvement project. By the end of the year, plant over 1,000 flower bulbs with 10 different community groups or schools in the ward.
    • Deliver the Hulme Urban Green Space (HUGS) project by November 2025. Collaborate with Sustainable Communities Hulme and relevant Manchester City Council teams.
    • Work with local residents to deliver a green space project at the St Mary’s Triangle by the end of the year.
    • Work with residents and organisations to deliver the 4,700 Trees project. Continue to use the project as an avenue to seek funding for trees in the cluster.

    Young People:

    • Help and encourage at least four resident-led Play Street events in the ward by the end of the year.
    • Support Recycle Bee's School Greening Programme funding bids in Hulme and Moss Side. Help them to deliver two projects over the year.
    • Support at least two schools with their green space improvements over the year.

    Transport, Active Travel and Air Quality:

    • Work with residents to secure funding for road safety improvements in St Mary's, Hulme. Collaborate with Manchester City Council Highways and the Sustainable Transport team to deliver.
    • Secure funding for “tredges” at schools over the year. Use Groundwork and Lancaster University’s 2022 "Protecting Playgrounds" study to inform the choice of species and location. Aim for one per ward in areas outside of the city centre.

    Things We Buy, Use and Throw Away:

    • Ensure Biffa or other waste partners are present at every event hosted throughout the year. Help them engage with at least 50 residents on waste and recycling.
    • Ensure that all events throughout the year avoid single-use plastics such as disposable coffee cups.
    • Host at least one cleaning and greening event during the 2026 Great British Spring Clean. Aim to engage at least 25 people at the event.

    Sustainable Food:

    • Support Bridging the Gap to deliver their food growing project by the end of the year.
    • Reduce the environmental impact of events by only offering vegetarian food and drink options.

    Homes and Energy Efficiency:

    • Share details of government-funded support schemes for energy efficiency improvements with residents.

    Engagement, Raising Awareness, Influencing Change:

    • Collaborate with partner organisations in Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme to deliver a joint project. Aim to deliver at least one clean and green initiative by the end of the year.
    • Include a climate change element at all community events over the year. Aim to engage at least 50 people on climate change in Hulme over the year.
