Northmoor Community Association celebrates 25 years

Northmoor Community Association (NCA) is celebrating 25 years of supporting local people and bringing the community together.

Founded by local residents with support from Great Places, NCA has grown into a thriving community hub, offering activities, advice, volunteering opportunities and support for people of all ages in the South of Manchester.

The anniversary brought residents, community groups and local partners together to celebrate everything NCA has achieved over the last quarter of a century, and the positive difference it continues to make across Northmoor.

Looking ahead, NCA remains committed to helping people connect, supporting local communities and creating opportunities for future generations.
