We are honoured to welcome Mayor Andy Burnham as this year’s Theos annual lecturer. Andy Burnham was first elected as Mayor of Greater Manchester in May 2017, re-elected for a second term in May 2021 and a third term in May 2024.
Responsible for shaping the future of Greater Manchester, Andy is committed to ensuring that Greater Manchester is a place where people of all faiths, beliefs and cultures are able to realise their full potential and benefit from the success of the city region, enabled through strong partnerships with the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector.
We are also delighted that this year – for the first time - our Annual Lecture will be outside London in Central Hall, Manchester.
