Manc 40: Yvonne Harrison - Striving for a Greater Manchester

We Built This City: Greater Manchester

“At its heart, sport reaches places that other things can't.”

Founder of Stryve and Chair of the Class of ‘92’s charity Foundation 92, Yvonne Harrison has built a career on creating a more accessible sporting world, underpinned by her courageous commitment to asking the difficult questions.

Find out alongside Lisa Morton the rewards you can reap from volunteering, the power of relationships in building your career and the reason we should all be friendly, non-judgemental Mancs.

We Built This City is a series of conversations with some of the amazing Mancunians - born, bred or adopted – who put the heart into modern Manchester. A celebration of the human grit, determination and love found throughout the city, these episodes will lift you up, make you laugh and inspire you to leave our city in a better place.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.

To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
