We will remember them.

Today I visited Maggie's Manchester, where I spoke with their experts and the people they support to hear more about the incredible work they do and the difference they’ve made for people living with cancer over the last 10 years.

In 2025 alone, Maggie’s Manchester provided over 18,000 sessions of support, including practical, emotional and psychological support for people living with cancer and their family and friends.

Projections show that there will be over six million new cancer cases in England by 2040, which is why the support Maggie’s offers is so vital.

If you, or someone you love, have received a cancer diagnosis, please do just come in to Maggie’s to speak with one of their experts. You don’t need an appointment and their support is always free.

As Mayor, I’m championing our incredible voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector.

I’m proud that Greater Manchester is home to over 18,800 VCSE groups, providing more than 8 million instances of support and backed by more than a million hours of volunteering every single week.

Yesterday, we talked openly about the state of the sector. In Greater Manchester, we’re backing the groups that make our city region what it is, with over £60 million in funding and a new model of genuine partnership.

Knife crime is down. But I want to make Greater Manchester the safest place to grow up, so we want to cut it in half, quickly.

That means investing in our young people to prevent knife crime in the first place.

Last week, I was at Salford Lads Club to launch our Greater Manchester campaign, I am Greater.

From sport and music to creativity and community projects, we’re building a positive path for every young person in Greater Manchester.

I welcome the Government’s commitment to make ending rough sleeping a national priority, backed by additional funding.

In Greater Manchester, we’ve shown what can be achieved when we work together. Now we can go even further.
