All Capacity Building

The Granada Foundation was established in 1965 to encourage the study and appreciation of the fine arts and sciences and to promote education, with a particular interest in activity in the North West of England.

The Foundation wishes to encourage and promote the study, practice and appreciation of the fine arts, including drawing, architecture and landscape architecture, sculpture, literature, music, opera, drama, cinema, and the methods and means of their dissemination.

Armed Forces Day will be on Saturday 27 June 2015. It's an opportunity to do two things. Firstly, to raise public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. Secondly, it gives the nation an opportunity to Show Your Support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets.

Across the country people are getting involved: communities hold local events and business show their support.

The Prince’s Trust Team Programme based at The Manchester College’s Wythenshawe site is currently looking for worthwhile projects in the community for its students to complete.

Perhaps there’s a local youth club or community centre in need of refurbishment or an area of land or community garden that could do with a makeover. Whatever it is the students would consider it.

Not only will they plan and carry out the manual work they will also raise the funds needed to purchase any materials/equipment needed.

The University of Manchester’s recently launched Student Experience Internship (SEI) scheme provides funding to pay for a limited number of students to undertake a full-time, eight week summer internship within organisations in the charity and not-for-profit sector in Manchester.

The aim is to help organisations complete projects or for students to help by undertaking a particular role that is required during the summer months. Projects can be varied in nature but need to be achievable within the eight week period.
