Winter 2025
As the colder months settle in, it’s heartening to see how our borough continues to come together with warmth, resilience and a shared sense of purpose.
This edition shines a spotlight on the incredible work happening across our communities. One of the season’s most impactful campaigns is Be Well’s Stop Smoking initiative, which is helping residents take positive steps towards healthier lives.
We also explore the growing momentum behind community wealth building – a bold approach that ensures investment and opportunity stay rooted in our local areas.
There are exciting updates from our town centre developments, with major milestones reached in Wigan, Leigh and Ashton. These projects are transforming public spaces, boosting local economies and creating vibrant hubs for people to live, work and enjoy.
Mental health remains a key priority, and we’re proud to highlight the work of several community groups making a real difference. From peer support networks to creative wellbeing projects, these groups are offering lifelines and building meaningful connections.
We’d love to hear what you think of the magazine. Please email Borough Life with any feedback or if you have an idea for a story.
Don’t forget, you can listen to the Borough Life podcast online.
