A new home for Macc and a venue for the local voluntary and community sector – survey results

1 Apr 2015 - 10:24 by michelle.foster

Like many other local groups Macc is determined to ensure that it continues to operate in the city and that we meet the current and future needs of the sector as efficiently and effectively as possible. We are currently investigating opportunities to re-locate our offices through the potential transfer of assets from Manchester City Council.

During February 2015 Macc undertook an extensive survey to gather important views and opinions from our members, customers and stakeholders. 266 groups and individuals participated through an online questionnaire, focus groups and interviews.
