Greater Manchester is to be one of the first areas in the country to have an independent committee to scrutinise ethical standards in policing.
The behaviour, actions and decisions of police officers and staff must always be in support of the public interest. Public trust and confidence in policing as an institution is crucial to build safer communities, and to earn this police need to be open to scrutiny and be transparent.
Arcon Housing Association is a well established Housing Association based in the centre of Manchester with 1,200 properties in management.
Whilst the majority of their properties are general needs homes, one of their values and objectives is to provide housing to specialist care providers. At present they have 6 schemes of this type in Manchester (including Marillac House) and these are leased to 5 different charities who provide care and support to adults with learning difficulties as well as people with drug and alcohol problems.

A quarter of a million pounds is available for community and neighbourhood projects across the North West in areas where Adactus Housing Group have properties.

The Dowager Countess Eleanor Peel Trust are offering grants of over £5,000 to registered charities with the emphasis on helping: medical charities and research; older people; and those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own.
Preference is given to smaller to medium sized charities where grants will make a difference. Applications for general grants from large well-funded charities (income in excess of £2.5million per annum) will be rejected.
The Trustees aim to support fewer charities with larger average grants.
The Golden Bottle Trust and the Bulldog Trust are seeking to make small to medium sized grants (£1,000 - £30,000 over a maximum of 3 years) to new and existing organisations to enable them to get closer to achieving their goals.
For many organisations looking to finance new projects, seeking funding can be extremely difficult and in some cases, impossible. Common problems include time consuming application processes, minimum grant levels being too high, the project not fitting into a specific funding category or the organisation not meeting the strict criteria often required.
