INTRODUCING DAVE SIMISTER

MEET YOUR LOCAL MUM CARRIE I would just like to introduce myself and Mums in the Know. My name is Carrie-Anne and I run a local site called Mums in the Know Salford.

Tell us a bit about yourself

What made you want to join Swinton Square? I think overall what drew me to Swinton Square was the fresh set of challenges on offer here, along with the opportunity to continue to contribute to its growth and development into a central hub for the community. I’m looking to come in and make a real difference. With large investments from new tenants like ASDA, things are continuing to look up for the Square, and I’m proud to be part of it all.

I think overall what attracted me to Swinton Square was the fresh set of challenges on offer here... What in particular are you hoping to achieve? This magazine was top of my list! Hopefully it will be first in a long line of issues for Your Square. The reason being, I wanted to give the tenants the opportunity to get more directly involved in promoting themselves and the centre, helping to attract a new

Mums In The Know was created in 2012 by two mums looking for a local online portal where everything happening for them and their families could be found. It started with Mums In The Know Wilmslow, and became so popular that mums in other towns began to get in touch asking for one in their area. Fast-forward to the present day and Mums In The Know not only has a national page. It’s on course to have 100 local sites by the end of the year, keeping mums across the UK informed about everything happening for them and their families. At Mums In The Know we’re all about positivity. Our aim is to give all our readers the ideas and get up and go to make the most of life in their local vicinity.

Kelly Wray Neighbourhood Development Officer

I became part of MITK in 2012. I found it was a great way to work from home and look after my poorly son. Working with MITK has given me the opportunity to meet lots of lovely local people, find out about the fab things happening in the area and I can still pick my children up from school at the end of the day.

I was born and bred in Swinton, and after two years away through my partner’s work, we’re now back home. On our return, I began working on MITK Salford, which is already taking off at great speed. The site is already full with ideas for days out, family activities, clubs and classes and much more. I’m now really looking forward to working with Swinton Square and keeping everyone up to date with what’s on for families in the area. Carrie

Here are some great local groups and activities you can take part in.

Meet your new centre manager Dave, we sat down with him for 5 minutes here’s what we found out. I’m the new Centre Manager onsite here at Swinton Square.
