Welcome to the Greater Manchester Purpose Maps space.

Here you can search online for great stuff that is happening in your community. The Purpose Maps have been developed to support people have been housed through the Housing First programme to connect with their new community. However, they can be used by anyone who has recently moved into an area.  

We know that people will receive a warm welcome when going to any of these groups and activities across Greater Manchester included in the maps.
