A warm Mancunian welcome to all my listeners. Presenting Season 7, Episode 1 of the #MeettheMancunian #podcast #GM #manchester #youth #community #SocialImpact #NonProfit Hosted by Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe (https://www.instagram.com/meetthemancunian/).   In the season premiere episode, the Meet the Mancunian podcast talks to Nick Buckley, author and mayoral candidate about his passion for supporting the youth in the charity he founded, Mancunian Way. He talks about the charity’s philosophy of no last chances and supporting youth who are at risk of becoming involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as well as making poor choices. The charity focuses on prevention and early intervention through engagement, education, and promoting personal responsibility.   Did you know: Youth crime rates in Greater Manchester have reduced since 2021. Some of that is due to the engagement and education outreach by the Police and youth charities.   Key resources: Mancunian Way Greater Manchester Police: Prevention of knife crime   Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript: (00:01:39) passion for supporting the youth (00:02:39) introducing Mancunian Way charity (00:06:34) the challenges he has overcome (00:09:31) his books (00:14:04) the impact he has made   Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk
