Exciting news! The Manchester Local Offer is now more than just a website—it’s a podcast too!

Created by the digital team at SENDCode Agency and supported by interns from DISC, the Local Offer Podcast is here to bring you real stories, inclusive activities, and interviews with local SEND services across Manchester. Whether you’re a young person, parent, carer, or professional, this podcast is your go-to for staying connected with the support that makes a difference.

Each episode features insightful conversations with people making an impact in the SEND community. Our debut episode, hosted by Caprice and Charles, welcomes MCR Social, who share how they’re creating inclusive and fun activities that bring people together. We also hear from The Manchester Bees Forest School, a fantastic initiative making nature-based learning and play more accessible for all.

We record episodes both on location and in our Podcast Studio at the SENDCode Agency, ensuring we capture authentic voices and lived experiences from around Manchester.

You can find full details of both the audio and video versions of the podcast by visiting the Local Offer Podcast Webpage on the Manchester City Council’s website. 

Want to get involved? If you know of a SEND service, community group, or personal story that deserves to be heard, we’d love to feature you! — get in touch at localoffer@digitaladvantage.org.uk.
