People make Places, Places make People, Places Matter! We are Places Matter! an organisation devoted to generating a strong sense of place in living, working and learning environments throughout the Northwest.

Much of the Places Matter! programme is delivered with partner organisations including RIBA North West, the NWDA and CABE.

A high quality built environment is crucial to the region's economic prosperity and quality of life.

Long dark nights, short cold days, rain and floods – its all doom and gloom!
