Come along to our next Assembly meeting on Tuesday 17 September.
This Assembly focuses on the impact of cuts in welfare funding on the people of Manchester and on voluntary and community organisations, and how we should respond.
There will be presentations and workshops on campaigning, how to deal with losing funding and on reshaping welfare provision, as well as updates on what’s happening in Manchester, and opportunities to meet other organisations and share your experience of the impact of cuts on the people of Manchester.
There will be time for networking, a Small Groups and Front Line Workers Forum and a Chief Officers/ Trustees/ Senior Managers Forum.
The assembly is held quarterly and strengthens the voice of the local voluntary and community sector. It is a space to learn, network, debate issues and develop a collective view/position.
