We were proud to welcome Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, to officially open this year’s OPCF Conference, setting the tone for a truly inspiring evening. 🌟

A huge shoutout to the brilliant young people from Barrier Breakers, Ben and Kyra, who brought energy, confidence, and professionalism as our fantastic comperes, you were outstanding!

What can we say about Olivia, Olivia is an incredible talent who wowed us all with her powerful performance that stood out.👏

We were also honoured to hear from an incredible lineup of speakers, including Dame Christine Lenehan and Julie Daniels, who shared powerful insights and perspectives.

This conference was a celebration of passion, partnership, and the collective drive to make a real difference for children, young people, and families in Oldham. 💛

Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we share videos of Olivia, key moments, interviews, and special spotlights celebrating our amazing Passion for Parent Award winners, you won’t want to miss it! 👀✨
