As renewable energy gathers pace off the region’s coast, a new Durham manifesto is warning that working-class communities must not be treated as scenery in someone else’s transition
Born from a radical model developed in Brazil’s favelas, The Agency of Change is now an independent charity - with roots in Manchester, Bolton and beyond. Its message is simple, and urgent: young people are not problems to be managed. They are leaders waiting to be trusted
As Horizons Festival returns to HOME for Refugee Week 2026, MagNorth looks at why this free celebration of migration, creativity and community is more than a cultural weekend - it is a vital act of representation in a city shaped by global stories
A major student finance shake-up will let adults access loans for shorter, flexible higher-level courses from 2026. With 37 approved colleges and universities across the North, this could be a quiet revolution for people balancing work, childcare, debt, geography and second chances.
At Jamaica House in Chapeltown, a new memorial garden now carries the names of 49 Caribbean RAF veterans who made Leeds their home. In a week when anti-migrant politics again pushed into the national foreground, their story offers a powerful correction to Britain’s memory: these men were not a footnote to our history. They helped make it.
As local election results redraw the political map, the North must refuse the easy cruelty of scapegoating refugees and migrants - and choose, instead, the courage of truth, solidarity and welcome
Today is World Press Freedom Day - a moment not only to think about journalists working in war zones or authoritarian states, but to ask what kind of information ecosystem we want here in the North of England.
