What is Citywall?

Citywall is a not-for-profit organisation serving communities in Salford and across Greater Manchester. We exist to support young people and families to enable them to thrive in education, at home, and in the community. Citywall delivers tailored interventions to engage, support and develop young people and families; always promoting their well-being, mental wellness, education, and safety.

Education

Education for all

We encourage positive life choices and the development of new skills for education and future employment opportunities.

Thriving families

We believe that happy, healthy, nurturing families are defensive structures that protect our communities and allow young people to flourish.
