Horizons Festival is a free 2-day global arts festival in the heart of Manchester. A summer weekend packed with shows, live music events, creative family activities, global cinema, workshops, standup comedy and pressing discussions.
Have you ever wondered what happens to your funding proposals after you click ‘submit’? Or mused on what conversations actually take place behind the closed doors of a grant-maker’s trustee meeting?
This is your chance to see for yourself!
Based on interviews with trustees and grant managers from a wide range of funders, this interactive workshop has been carefully designed to give you as accurate and realistic an experience of a grant-making meeting as possible.

Sessions are every Friday from 10am - 12pm (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th June, 3rd, 10th, 17th July)
There is a wide range of not-for-profit structures ranging from registered charities to community interest companies. They all have specific benefits, and some drawbacks. This session will look at the main structures, and explain the benefits and issues associated with each of them.
Live Well Manchester is our local response to the GM vision. We’re bringing together our city-wide Partners
Live Well Manchester is Manchester response to the Greater Manchester initiative that brings together all the support and services that people need close to home, so that they can live well.
It brings together councils, the NHS, community organisations and residents.
Each part of Greater Manchester has the opportunity and some funding to implement the initiative in their own way.

“We Are Here Because the Windrush Generation Was There”
Manchester would not sound, taste or feel the same without the Windrush generation.
This Windrush Day, join Caribbean & African Health Network (CAHN) at Alexandra Park, for a free celebration of Caribbean culture, community and legacy.
From the music that raised us to the stories that shaped us, this is a day to honour the people whose strength and spirit helped shape generations across Greater Manchester.
Join the University of Manchester to discuss how local government can use culture and heritage to craft shared identities in local communities.
Greater Manchester has a rich and diverse heritage that is creative, industrial and political. It is also a place with deep-seated regional inequalities, both compared to the rest of the country and within the city region itself. So how can its history be harnessed to build social cohesion and community connectedness?
Turn funding rejections into success. Learn why bids fail, refine your writing, and create stronger, compelling grant applications.

So how can fundraisers turn their rejections into successes?
Focussing on what you can control in your bid writing and making it as strong and compelling as possible is crucial.
