Greater Manchester will get its own VCSE Forum this year. The GM VCSE Forum will focus on expanding the vision for a thriving VCSE sector, as identified in the GM VCSE Accord, across the localities in Greater Manchester. It will be a forum for the three partner organisations of the GM VCSE Accord and representatives of the localities in Greater Manchester, such as portfolio leaders. Representatives for other stakeholder organisations working at a Greater Manchester-wide level will also be invited, e.g. TFGM. It will focus on specific commitments, such as 2, 3, and 5, of the GM VCSE Accord.
The first meeting will be in March 2023 and will be a showcase of VCSE work. In future it will be a place to share good practice and where relationships can be built.
