Connexions
We deliver the Connexions Service in four local authority areas: Manchester, Rochdale, Salford and Tameside; where we work closely with Children and Young Peoples' Service directorates.
Each service is managed by a Connexions Manager whose role is to work with the local authority and partner organisations to develop and implement their strategic plans.
Our Manchester Connexions centres are located in Harpurhey, Openshaw, Longsight, Moss Side, West Didsbury and Wythenshawe.
