Update on Our Manchester VCS Funding Co-Design

20 Apr 2017 - 11:15 by Nigel Rose

The co-design group met on Feb 21st 2017 to discuss the results of the consultation and work out the implications for the design of the funding programme, identifying a number of issues that needed further work.

An implementation group was formed and has been meeting weekly to develop the detail of the funding programme.
