Get involved in the State of the VCSE Sector Survey

Why taking part matters
The State of the VCSE Sector research is a major piece of work mapping the size, scope, diversity, and impact of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations across Greater Manchester.

Your contribution helps ensure the activities, needs, challenges, and strengths of organisations like yours are fully represented. The stronger the evidence, the stronger our shared voice when advocating for funding, resources, and recognition.

Voice4Change-England, in collaboration with Buddle, invites BME-led community and voluntary organisations – and welcomes non-BME groups – to join this free one-hour online webinar on the essentials of financial management.

Do you know how your organisation’s finances are managed? Strong financial management is vital to ensure decisions are transparent, well-informed, and support the long-term sustainability of your organisation.
