Our strategy is to extend our reach in the cities of Manchester and Liverpool by connecting with more suburban families in a way that is relevant to their needs. During 2012-2015 we will primarily focus on projects in Greater Manchester, with the aim of expanding to Liverpool after 2015. We want suburban families to feel engaged with us, support our cause, and recommend us to others. We will measure success by the number of new memberships, additional visits and attendance, and volunteering opportunities engaged suburban families have by 2015. We have £680,000 in funding over 2012-2015 to support components of the strategy including communications, extending our reach to new audiences, and influencing others to take action in support of urban heritage and green spaces.
