Episode Synopsis

“I can and I will, watch me” – not a bad role model rallying cry, right?



Sarah Collins spends her life empowering others. If it’s not through training her junior netball team, it’s by generating purposeful change in her new role at TalkSPORT, or picking her ‘PMA crew’ up when they’re down. She’s a constant reminder that sometimes all you need is a good friend.
 
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. We recorded these episodes before the Corona Virus outbreak, which has for the time-being, not only taken the swagger out of Manchester, but brought us to our knees. Not for long. We had always planned to launch in March and wondered if that was still the right thing to do now. On reflection, we decided to go ahead, because the love and the family and the community that comes out of these conversations, will hopefully provide some strength and conviction that we did build this city - and we will do it again.

Former Head of Sport for BBC Radio Manchester, Sarah Collins has spent her career encouraging young women to build their careers, promoting women in sport, and trying very hard to get out of bed before 9am. 



Hear Sarah’s impassioned protests in favour of more grassroots sporting opportunities for women, her hilarious tales about the doomed radio car that didn’t survive the Salford riots, and why she’ll never forget that fateful Manchester City match on September 23rd 1989…
 
If laughter is the best medicine, you’re all about to feel pretty wonderful.

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 Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best city in the world.
