All Capacity Building

Challenge Manchester is hosting their first ever event in Manchester this summer, bringing together business communities in the North West to take part in four challenges in the city centre to help raise £400,000 for four Manchester charities.

Challenge Manchester will be taking place throughout June and July 2015.

Manchester businesses can enter a team of 10 employees or company clientele to represent them in the first ever City of Manchester Challenge.

Get involved in this year's Small Charity Week eBay Auction and you could be in with a chance to win an extra £2,000 prize pot.

eBay has more than 17 million users worldwide so this is a great way to raise awareness and funding for your charity. Call on your celebrity supporters, patrons, corporates or anyone else you may know who can provide you with an appropriate auction item. You need to find special items to sell before the deadline on the 8 May 2015, in order to raise funds for your charity.

Small Charity Week is run by The FSI and runs from 15-20 June this year.

TAGMA (Tanzania Association of Greater Manchester) is a volunteer led Community Association. They are organising an event for Union Day (Muungano) to celebrate when Tanganyika and Zanzibar came together.

They need help finding a suitable venue, with capacity to hold up to 150 people for Saturday 25 April 2015. Do you have a suitable community space to offer? TAGMA is currently unfunded but will try to meet a small room hire cost from member contributions.

Local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities even better places to live are now invited to apply for funding to turn their ideas into reality.

Active Communities is a funding programme for community groups and not-for-profit organisations, with an income of less than £350,000 a year or an average of £350,000 over two years.
