Community Business Week event: Celebrating 10 years of Community Power!

Celebrating 10 Years of Community Power!

Join us at Stretford Public Hall for a special evening marking our 10 years of community ownership — and celebrating Power to Change’s 10th anniversary — as part of Community Business Week.

This event will showcase how community-powered places and spaces are transforming local economies, protecting vital assets, and reimagining public services.

Hear inspiring stories from:

• Chris Sherrington, Music Venue Properties — on saving grassroots music venues through community ownership
• Nika Muthra-Shah, Rekindle Foundation — on creating a youth-led school grounded in co-operative values

Enjoy delicious food from Open Kitchen, Manchester’s pioneering sustainable caterer, plus a bar and DJs from Nite School CIC to close the night.

Celebrate our ten years as a community business, connect with fellow community businesses, and explore what the next ten years of community power might look like!

Drinks reception from 5.30pm. Talks from 6.00pm.

Free to attend but please book a ticket!
