He has been working in this space for nearly two decades, building a deep understanding of local culture across the Hulme, Moss Side, Rusholme and Longsight communities, where identity, peer influence and environment significantly shape young people’s experiences and life chances. His work is rooted in lived experience and a strong connection to the community. He speaks on local radio about cultural and community issues and understands the pressures young people face, from the normalisation of violence and harmful social media influences to limited access to opportunities beyond sport and music.

This insight enables Gregory to design programmes that are trusted, relevant and responsive to real need. Through Families Against Violence, he delivers mentoring, sport, wellbeing and leadership programmes that provide safe spaces, positive role models and clear pathways into education, training and employment. He supports young people facing challenges related to behaviour, mental health, poverty and family adversity, helping them build resilience and confidence.

TGregory is an active member of the Peace Alliance and part of the Live Well network, working collaboratively to improve outcomes for young people across Greater Manchester. He has also chaired a roundtable in Westminster, bringing together MPs, police and sector leaders to address youth crime and the increasing risk of exploitation, particularly affecting young women and girls.
