Spirit of Manchester

26 Jul 2013 - 16:14 by Mike Wild

I've mentioned previously that there's a danger that this blog becomes a series of rants about things I'm angry about. Well not today, at least!

Our State of the Voluntary Sector report shows there are over 3000 voluntary and community groups in Manchester. I don't know them all but I do know a lot of them and one of the great pleasures of my job is that I get to see some of the amazing things happening in groups across Manchester and meet some fantastic people.

Gingerbread has received funding from HMRC which has enabled them to offer Voluntary and Community organisations access to the Gingerbread Online Information Library.

The Gingerbread Online Information Library exists to guide practitioners through sometimes complex legislation and policy issues affecting single parents. It is regularly updated by our dedicated information team, to make sure practitioners have the advice and information they need to give to their single parent clients.

Recent comments from Manchester... a response

17 Jun 2013 - 16:52 by Mike Wild

Judging by the phone calls, emails and tweets I and my colleagues have had, the report in Third Sector of comments by Geoff Little (Deputy CEO of Manchester City Council) addressing the Charity Finance Group conference earlier this week has sent a shockwave around the voluntary and community sector not just in Manchester but the rest of the country too.
