10% Better Campaign
We want to tackle the inequality and poverty in Salford and improve wellbeing and quality of life for the people who live here and our aim is to maximise the local benefit from all money spent in Salford. If we can involve the many private sector businesses, public sector organisations, as well as voluntary and community groups and social enterprises working here in Salford, our chance of success will be greater.
