Strategy launch event

On Wednesday 9 July 2025, at Department Campfield, more than 400 leaders and partners from across our public, private, voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise sectors came together for the public launch of our refreshed Greater Manchester Strategy (GMS).

Joined by residents from across our 10 areas, the Mayor explored the strategy in more detail and set out our collective vision for the next 10 years, to be a thriving city region where everyone can live a good life.

This is a recording of the full 90-minute event.
