M13 work with young people in Ardwick and Longsight to create conversations, activities and environments which foster

• enjoyment
• learning
• action
• and long-term change

​which benefit young people, workers and our wider communities.

We have a vision where

• M13 neighbourhoods are places where young people feel secure and happy, where they want to spend their time, where they can find fulfilling and dignifying recreation, education and work and where they can grow, develop and thrive;
• young people have their own, inspiring and hopeful visions for their lives, communities and neighbourhoods, which make for human well-being;
• young people choose to take responsibility for and work to transform their communities, to stand up for justice and equality and oppose inequality and oppression;
• young people can recognise the love God has for them, their communities and others and can recognise how He is at work in their lives;
• young people's voices are listened to and are significant agents for change, locally and nationally and which shape M13's vision through dialogue;
• young people are honoured, valued, respected and listened to by the community and wider society and support and respect is reciprocated across age, ethnic, gender, ability, sexual and religious diversity;
• M13 communities have the capacity to love, care for, enjoy and meet the needs of all their young people
• M13 Youth Project has sufficient financial, human and material resources to sustain and continue to fulfil its aims for as long as the Project is needed.
