All Capacity Building

Three small charities in Greater Manchester have been selected today as 2019 Weston Charity Awards winners. They will each receive a core grant of £6,500 from the Garfield Weston Foundation and a year’s strategic planning support from a team of four business leaders to enable them to become more efficient, effective and sustainable.

Information for the bulletin is compiled from a number of sources including Grantfinder, and direct from funders themselves. It showcases just a few of the hundreds of funding opportunities available for local community, voluntary and faith organisations.

This bulletin is produced by a partnership of local support and development agencies across Greater Manchester.

The Health and Social Care Secretary has announced that £1.9 million will be given to councils by Public Health England to help improve the health of rough sleepers. The funding will be awarded to projects that improve access to health services and continuity of care for people with mental ill-health and substance misuse problems who are sleeping rough or at risk of returning to rough sleeping.

Safeguarding adults is about protecting those at risk of harm (vulnerable adults) from suffering abuse or neglect.

It is recognised that certain groups of people may be more likely to experience abuse and less able to access services or support to keep themselves safe.
