Real Lives. Wythenshawe. It means just that. Real life is things we all know – like taking the dog for a walk, digging the allotment, it’s school and work, it’s family and friends, it’s home.
These are the kind of things we want to celebrate with the people who live and work here already and to tell to a wider audience who live outside Wythenshawe, who might not know this is what life is like today in Wythenshawe.
To tell this story we have a set of key headlines about homes, jobs, investment, community, space, change, skills and connections. This is always backed up by a mythbusting fact, giving people a bitesize story to pass on.
And then, because the images we think of when we imagine a place are important we use pictures to show real people in real life situations. They aim build a visual reference library in people’s minds – so when they think of Wythenshawe they think about what’s really here.
There will be real words as well. Bringing to life the real people in the pictures telling their own story, in their own words.
