We’re passionate about creating meaningful connections with the communities we serve, whether through education, art, celebration, acts of kindness, or wellbeing initiatives.
By partnering with local organisations, schools, charities, and volunteers, we’re helping to build a more inclusive, vibrant, and supportive environment for everyone who travels with us.
Some of our recent partnerships include:
Fundraising
Fundraising for Barnabus by taking part in the Manchester Dragon Boat Race and Inflatable 5k, supporting people experiencing homelessness.
Celebrations
Celebrating community through public art. Lift shafts at St Werburgh’s Road and Etihad have been transformed with vibrant murals by artists Ethan Lemon and Lei-Mai Cregeen. Featuring local wildlife, heritage, and bold design, these artworks brighten the network and reflect the character of the communities we serve.
Student Connections
Connecting with students at Trafford College. Our stalls at the Altrincham and Stretford campuses give us the chance to speak with new and returning students about travelling safely and responsibly, covering ticketing, antisocial behaviour, and how to make the most of the network.
Events
Hosting our first charity student fashion show and sale in partnership with Barnabus, at The Manchester College, featuring 27kg of unclaimed lost property from the tram network.
