The Charity Commission, the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales, has launched a consultation on a number of proposals for changes to the Annual Return for 2015.
The announcement follows previous consultations in 2012 and 2013, when the regulator reviewed the information it collects and makes publicly available from registered charities, through the Annual Return and at registration. The findings of the consultations helped inform changes to the content of the Annual Return for 2013 and 2014.
Grants from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) are available to VCSE organisations that deliver community-based services to women offenders in Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside and Wigan (1 grant allocation per district).
GMCVO is working with the PCC to help voluntary organisations access this opportunity for funding, which aims to ensure that there is a minimum standard of provision for all women across Greater Manchester. (The other four authority areas already have VCSE providers that deliver to this standard).

Climate change caused by human activity is threatening the well-being of humanity. The wealthiest countries and individuals are responsible for a disproportionate share of emissions, whilst the poorest countries and sections of society are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Similarly, our use of natural resources is unsustainable and unjust. Technological change is essential but not sufficient; fundamental changes to economic models and social norms will also be required, but there is not yet sufficient public or political consensus to make these changes.
The Charity Commission, the regulator of charities in England and Wales, has published two new audio podcasts, designed to help charity trustees understand their duties under charity law.
Over two podcasts, trustees can hear from experienced Commission staff about the principles of some of the regulators guidance. The new episodes include:

Priority is given to grant applications looking to provide sustainable support to community groups and projects in Manchester and in particular projects tackling social isolation and loneliness.
Applications are accepted from voluntary organisations, community groups and charities.
