All Capacity Building

Unity Radio 92.8FM is pleased to announce the North West's newest vocational media programme, Unity Creation, supported by the European Social Fund.

Greater Manchester has an allocation of £356 million of European Structural Funds for the 2014-20 programme.

The Funds, overall, are designed to reduce economic inequalities by targeting additional resources at developing skills, jobs and enterprise for those people and areas which need extra help. There is also clear acknowledgement of the importance of social inclusion and social innovation as necessary conditions of economic inclusion; this is similarly acknowledged in the Greater Manchester Strategy, which also acknowledges the importance of our sector in delivering this.

The Cabinet Office is inviting voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisations to apply for grants of £50,000 or more to support projects that will improve the lives of unpaid family carers in England.

The Fund is aimed at organisations with plans to expand or develop ambitious social action projects that will help to improve the lives of carers. (A carer is anyone who looks after, unpaid, a friend or family member who cannot cope without their support. This may be due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction.)

Grow Your Tenner will launch at 10am on Tuesday 14 October.

Throughout the campaign, Local Giving will be matching one-time donations pound-for-pound up to £10, and monthly donations up to £10 per month for 6 months.

All charities with active memberships are eligible to receive match funding, and the campaign will run across the whole of the UK.
