Capacity Building

Big Give, Global’s Make Some Noise, and NCVO are thrilled to announce the launch of their inaugural Small Charity Week match funding campaign. This seven-day online campaign, running from the 23 – 30 of June 2025, aims to support small charities across the UK, helping to build the resilience, skills and profile of the small charity sector while raising vital, unrestricted funding. You must be a registered charity to qualify for this initiative.

Facing a challenge? Need expert advice?

There is a thriving community of B Corps in Greater Manchester who want to do more to support local community groups and charities.

This is free open day in association with Macc and Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity at SISTER in Manchester on the 27th March.

Come and meet one or more of the B Corp members and get advice on how to address
challenges you may be facing in subjects ranging from property, finance, fundraising, social impact, marketing and many more!

7 days, 10 charities, £5,000 each – nominations open for seven days, from 17th-23rd February 2025. To support the incredible work that so many charities do to support animals and wildlife in need, Movement for Good’s first special draw of the year will award £5,000 each to 10 charities working in this area.

Important information about the draw

Feeding Britain’s funding is available to organisations across the UK running holiday clubs during Easter and May half-term holidays that can provide additional places for children who are living in poverty but not eligible for statutory support (e.g., the Holiday Activities and Food Programme or Free School Meals). 

The holiday clubs must offer enriching activities and provide meals that meet the School Foods Standards. 

We are pleased to say that the St Thomas Centre in Ardwick will continue to serve as a vital hub for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Greater Manchester. Following the closure of GMCVO, we can now announce that agreement has been reached for Macc to take over responsibility for the Centre, safeguarding this important resource for our sector.
