Join us for an evening of networking and connection, reflecting on activity over the last 12 months and looking ahead to 2026 and beyond.
Come along to hear about our new look, plans for next year and meet our teams. This event focuses on encouraging attendees to explore potential connections with one another whilst taking part in our Annual General Meeting (AGM).
We conclude with hosting our interactive Spirit of Manchester Fund mini-grants programme, celebrating the 80th anniversary of Manchester hosting the Pan-African Congress. Six fantastic community groups will share their projects and ideas in the hopes of winning additional funding, voted for by our guests.
We invite members and non-members to join us (please note that only members will be able to vote during the AGM).
