Active Citizens in Our Own Health – Community Reporters Training Offer

Are you interested in showcasing local examples of patients, VCSE providers and public health services working together to promote health and wellbeing?
Are you interested in taking part in a project that will train representatives (staff or volunteers) from local VCSE organisations to become Community Reporters?

As a result of funding from the Manchester Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) the training is FREE and participants will be supported to make a short film about their (or their organisation’s) experiences of health, well-being and health related care.

The films produced as a result of this project will provide a great opportunity for organisations and individuals to represent their views or show case the fantastic work they do.

Further details about the project are included in the attached document.

Macc are also offering organisations a £500 participation payment in recognition of their time and commitment. Basic expenses for staff/volunteers attending the training course (a total of 3 days) are also available.
