Matthew and his sister enjoy brand new bike

North Manchester has its own world cup winner in 14 year old Matthew Stansfield who won a brand new mountain bike at Northwards Housing’s World Cup Celebration.

Matthew, of Higher Blackley, was the delighted recipient of a top range bicycle with plenty of accessories thanks to his mother Vicky, who entered a prize draw for giving feedback at the event in June.

The Riverdale World Cup Celebration was aimed at bringing people together around the Riverdale and Bankhouse estates during the spring half term. The themed day that included table football, face painting and 5-aside was a huge success with a great turnout - even the sun came out!

We always like to get feedback from our tenants so we can continue to improve our services and events. Evaluation forms given out at the event helped us know how many tenants were interested in the event and gave feedback on the day itself. Local volunteers went around and collected them for us and the results were really positive. The lucky winner of our feedback prize draw, Matthew, said “I’m really glad I’ve got a bike now - I can get to my mates quicker and it will last me a long time because it’s a big bike!”
