Whalley Range Community Forum Development Day
Re:JNR8, where next for Whalley Range – 29th NOVEMBER 2025
Dear Colleague
We invite you to: Re:JNR8 Saturday 29th November 2025 1-4 pm at, JNR8 Community Centre, 82 Cromwell Avenue, Manchester M16 0BG.
The activity will run from 1-4pm with delicious food from 12.30pm (please order, when you book your place), networking and displays showing what Whalley Range Community Forum has been involved with over the past 30 years.
We will be looking at what is working well in Whalley Range (e.g. our assets, groups, JNR8, Celebrate etc), what we would like Whalley Range and the voluntary and community sector to be like in five years’ time, and how we can achieve this.
It would be useful if you could discuss with your group before you arrive about what you do well, what your group would like to do in the future and what could help you achieve this. It would be useful if you could come with another person (to help in your groups’ succession planning).
Please let us know if you are coming and if you require food using the email address below – to Kate Richardson wrcommunityforum@gmail.com
We look forward to working with you,
Best wishes
Carol Packham
Acting Chair Whalley Range Community Forum
(Please email us if you require food – stating food allergies)
Whalley Range Community Forum is 30!
A special Whalley Range Community Forum meeting was held at the British Muslim Heritage Centre on Thursday 11th September – to celebrate 30 years since the Forum was set up.
The meeting featured displays about the Forum’s history and a timeline -that we will feature on this page and add people’s memories of the past 30 years.
Watch out for updates to this page.
Local organisations who have worked with us – and past members of staff and partners joined us and spoke about their connection to WRCF.
(We are very grateful to Manley Park Methodist Church who baked our celebration cakes!)
If you would like to speak about you and/or your organisation’s connection to Whalley Range Community Forum we would love to hear from you and there will be space at the meeting for you to speak.
Please plan something that is about 100 words long. We would like you to say something about: yourself; your organisation; your past relationship with the Forum; what you are working on now; your hopes for possible joint future work
Please be prepared for this to be collated into a Forum 30 directory
…Just a minute…
We are inviting our partners to briefly share their experience of working with the Forum for one minute. We would like you to say something about: yourself; your organisation; your past relationship with the Forum; what you are working on now; your hopes for possible joint future work
(in approximately 100 words…)
Please be prepared for this to be collated into a Forum 30 directory
