March 1, 2025: March door knocking in Woodhouse Park
Wythenshawe Forum
Forum Centre, Simonsway, Wythenshawe
Manchester, M22 5RX

Please join us for our first door knocking date in March. We will be continuing with our All Year Door knocking in Woodhouse Park.
We speak to residents, to find they want to raise any issues with the three Woodhouse Park councillors and to gently find out how they voted last year.
Until May 2025 we will have a lighter door knocking schedule, but still knocking on hundreds of doors, moving from once to twice a month, so this is a unique opportunity to get involved in election campaigning for our next election year 2026.
And you know, we work all year round for the residents in Woodhouse Park.
Join us on Saturday, 1st March in Woodhouse Park.
We will do door knocking. Training given.
Morning: 10am: We'll be meeting at Wythenshawe Forum Café with coffee/tea option and then go out and door knock. Door knocking is a group activity. Training is given on the script from 10-10.30am and we set off at 10.30am.
Afternoon: If you join us later or in-between times, please contact Astrid on 07817 934 982.
We decide on lunch time and place on the day.
You can join us for the morning session, the afternoon session or both.
