"This is a report about the past, but it has to start a conversation about the future." This Manchester Voluntary Sector Assembly event will launch the State of the Manchester VSCE 2021 report, talk about its findings and you will have the chance to discuss with VCSE colleagues what the future could look like and how we can work towards this together.
This one hour Zoom session will give you space to chill out and have a creative play and mess around with whatever art materials you have to hand, even if that is the back of an envelope and a ball point pen.
In the workshop, Gemma will guide you through mindful meditations and simple art making to move from the busyness of the mind to the expansive, restful space of the heart connecting with your creative playful side.

At last year’s AGM the focus was on the next stage of developing our campaign to fight for access to justice for our communities across Greater Manchester. We celebrated the progress that the Law Centre had made and looked forward to expanding our work.
The general election provided opportunities to expand access to justice and to reverse the cuts to legal aid and we highlighted that we had secured funding to develop our advice offer and looked to expand these across Greater Manchester in partnership with others.
The COVID19 crisis broke and everything changed.

Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum - What is it?
The Volunteer Co-ordinators Forum (VCF) is a chance for people who are responsible for involving volunteers in the work of their organisation, whether as their paid job or as a volunteer themselves, to come together. It is a peer support space facilitated by Volunteer Centre Manchester, a space to share ideas and resources that you have found useful and to seek support and advice from other volunteer coordinators in the city.
