First Steps Enterprise Fund (FSEF) is a £300,000 pilot fund to support community organisations. The fund is for community organisations (charities and social enterprises) based in England that are looking to take on their first loan to help them grow and become more sustainable.

The training is very much aimed at helping groups understand insolvency, why you need to know about it now and how your group can avoid insolvency.

When you hear the term Insolvency there is a tendency to associate it solely with closing organisations, this is not the case. Insolvency is also about business turnaround and getting help to take control of your organisations finances and continue onto a brighter future.

We are hosting Insolvency training to help organisations identify warning signs and ways to avoid Insolvency on 27 June, 10am-1pm at our Macc offices.

Hate crime has no place in Manchester. Everyone has the right to feel safe and we all have a responsibility to stand against hatred and discrimination. This has always been important and even more so following the Manchester attack. Manchester Community Safety Partnership has funding available to tackle hate crime. This funding has been running for several years and paid for some fantastic events and projects. This is the first year that Macc will be involved in the administration of the programme.
