Failsworth in Focus


Failsworth Area Action Team
Following continuing work with the Failsworth Area Action Team (AAT), Area Manager John Norris is now looking at ideas to “make the AAT more young people and community activity led”. This is a great move towards further establishing our schools links with the community of Failsworth.
