Welcome to your summer update for all the things I have been doing across our city.
It was fantastic to see Salford Lads Club awarded £438,000 in grant funding from Historic England, following support for their application from Salford Council’s Culture and Heritage colleagues. The funds will be used for vital repairs to protect and preserve the building.
Salford Lads is a real institution, having been at the heart of our city for more than 120 years, and has helped guide and support tens of thousands of young people during that time. We are extremely lucky to have the club based in this great city, and I look forward to the next successful chapter in its history.
I was incredibly proud to attend the Women’s Rugby World Cup matches at the weekend, held at our very own publicly-owned Salford Community Stadium.
This Saturday saw Canada beat Wales and Scotland win over Fiji, and it was great to see some really high-quality international rugby played in our city, which has such a proud history in both rugby codes.
Salford City Council committed to delivering a Rugby Strategy for the entire city last year, and as part of this work we will be collaborating with the RFU, the RFL, and professional and grassroots clubs across our city to make sure that hosting this World Cup has lasting benefits for our residents and communities for years to come.
On 15 August we held a special commemorative service in Salford for the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day, which marks the day Japan surrendered to the Allied forces, bringing the Second World War to an end.
My thanks to all the veterans, residents and partners who joined us to remember our armed forces personnel who sacrificed so much so that others could live in peace.
It was a privilege to join young people from our city today to celebrate Salford Youth Pride on a glorious day earlier this month.
As a proud member of the LGBT+ community, its always really positive to be involved in such events, and to appreciate our wonderfully welcoming, diverse, inclusive city.
I joined Talk About It Mate at Eccles Gateway for one of their peer support group sessions. It was incredibly heartwarming to meet the group members and join their discussions. Talk About It Mate do such good work supporting residents mental and physical health, and providing a comfortable, welcoming community.

I joined local families at the amazing Art with Heart event at Ordsall Hall last week, where local artists gave residents the chance to take part in different creative activities, including writing messages for our Centenary Celebration Book which will go on display in 2026.
We’ll be organising a significant programme of events marking the centenary of Salford becoming a city next year, so watch this space!
It was great to join local ward colleagues in Weaste and Seedley recently. We spent the morning clearing and de-weeding the alleyway between Barff and Kennedy Road. My thanks to all the councillors who pitched in to make this a success.
We also joined residents at the Family Fun and Community Day in Weaste that afternoon – such a wonderful event and a chance for the local community to come together.
