I'm being a bit cheeky calling this one a blog as 99.99% of this page is not by me at all. However, this is a good place to share it.
Below is a talk given by an American activist and fundraiser called Dan Pallotta. He brilliantly sums up some of the attitudes which distort the way the charity sector functions. I heartily agree with a lot of what he says - it's well worth watching.

I can’t help feeling that the news that yet another hole has opened in the ground in Manchester is too good a metaphor to waste. While the city is clearly enjoying economic success and is at the forefront of the devolution agenda, we’re also seeing increasing numbers of people sleeping rough, public services under threat due to budget cuts and enormous pressure on voluntary and community groups…

There’s a report in today’s Manchester Evening News which tells about further massive cuts to mental health services in Manchester and that the Manchester Health and Social Care Trust is expected to close down completely.http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/nhs-trust-axed-manchester-crisis-10348427
While none of the detail has, as far as I can see been officially…

Our open data on groups and volunteers has been updated and added to our website.
Last year I attended a Discovering Neighbourhood Statistics workshop run by the University of Manchester, it was a great workshop that gave a really good overview and insight on how to use the Office of National Statistics Neighbourhood Statistics website.
The website can be daunting to use but you can discover so…

A few weeks back I met with a group of voluntary & community sector leaders working with children young people and families and our local Director of Children's Services. We were talking about how to build the relationship between the sectors so we hit on the idea of writing a blog to challenge a few myths and misconceptions which tend to distort the relationship.
What follows was written for…
People/communities experiencing racial inequalities, Capacity Building, Children and Families, Commissioning , Crime and Disorder, Environment, Equalities, Faith, Health and Wellbeing, Homelessness, Learning, Skills and Employment, LGBTQIA+, Mental Health, Older People, Physical Disability, Policy and Influence, Social enterprise, Transgender, Volunteering, Young People, Other

I wasn't sure whether it would be approriate or useful to add more words to everything which is being written about this sad situation but there's a lesson here which I think is being missed.
A legitimate question you might ask among all the media noise about the closure of Kids Company is “Where are the Trustees?” They’re the ones ultimately responsible for the charity, after all. They’re in a…

Our groups and volunteers data has been updated to include data for the first quarter of 2015/16.
Mike Wild, Chief Executive at Macc, has released a video talking about why we decided to release open data and the data we’ve made available for everyone.
Challenge from Mike - What data do you share and how are you sharing it?
We’re keen to encourage as many groups as possible to share their data…

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
I've not really said anything much in this blog about Greater Manchester Devolution yet. That's largely because almost as soon as you write anything down about Devolution, it's out of date: suddenly there’s another new announcement about new “powers” being given to Greater Manchester. There’s not been anything substantial…

A short (5 min) video blog on why Macc decided to develop a policy on Open Data and how we chose what data to share.
