Summary
Salford Council's cabinet is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, to discuss several items, including the allocation of funding from the Greater Manchester Live Well Implementation Support Fund and minutes from a previous meeting. The meeting will be held at the Salford Suite, Salford Civic Centre.
Greater Manchester Live Well Implementation Support Fund
The cabinet is scheduled to discuss the proposed use of £941,000 allocated to Salford from the Greater Manchester (GM) Live Well Implementation Support Fund for the local roll out of the Live Well programme.
GM Live Well is described in the report pack as:
a cornerstone of Greater Manchester's over-arching 10-year Growth and Prevention Delivery Plan and Greater Manchester Strategy, aimed at reducing health, social and economic inequalities across the city region. It forms part of GM being the national Prevention Demonstrator.
The report pack states that at least 50% of the funding will go directly to the local VCSE sector1.
The cabinet will be asked to approve the allocation of 50% of this funding (£470,500) to be passported directly to the VCSE sector (via Salford CVS2) to be used for, supporting the 'places' element of the work. The cabinet will also be asked to approve the use of the remaining 50% funding (£470,500) to be invested in the VCSE-led Wellbeing Matters social prescribing programme, managed by Salford CVS.
The report pack details that the Live Well programme has four core components:
- A network of Live Well centres, spaces and offers.
- A resilient VCFSE eco-system.
- An optimised integrated neighbourhood model.
- A culture of prevention.
The report pack also details Salford's existing workstreams that align with the Live Well programme, including:
- The approach to prevention programme.
- The Ignite programme.
- The Salford Locality Health and Care Neighbourhoods Transformation Group.
- The GM Economic Inactivity Trailblazer programme through Elevate Salford[^4] and the Salford Employment Hub.
- The WorkWell Vanguard Service.
The report pack states that the new Community Connector and Development Worker roles would operate across all five of Salford's health and care neighbourhood areas, ensuring a coherent and consistent city-wide offer. Salford has five Primary Care Networks (PCNs) that are referred to as health neighbourhoods: Broughton Health Alliance PCN, Eccles and Irlam PCN, Salford South East PCN (incl. Ordsall, Langworthy, Weeste, Seedley), Swinton PCN, and Walkden and Little Hulton PCN.
Minutes from the previous meeting
The cabinet will be asked to approve the minutes from the meeting held on 23 September 2025.
The minutes include a discussion on the review of the private rented sector within Broughton. The Head of Service Urban Renewal introduced the report and highlighted that the scheme would improve the social and economic outcomes in the areas. The minutes also note that three ward councillors in Broughton had lobbied for the scheme.
