So.... we've moved. You can now find us at our new home at St Thomas Centre. (Same galaxy, not really very far away at all.)

Liz now introducing the work of GM Older People's Network - this is good work in its own right but is also a model of how to build community power by supporting people's voices to be heard in policy and decision spaces.

And here's Jack introducing the work of Volunteer Centre Manchester and our work to encourage active communities

Jane is introducing our capacity building team's support for local VCSE organisations: support with fundong and bids, governance, etc

Zainab is now sharing examples of collaborative work we've been supporting including Manchester Homelessness Partnership, Migrant Destitution Action Group and Peace Together Alliance.

Zara sharing some of the challenges identified by VCSE organisations in the conversations we've been having about a VCSE Sector Strategy for Manchester

Tomorrow night LIVE from 7pm.
