The Community Explorers forum, which sits with the Policy and Influence team at Macc, is designed to facilitate meaningful conversations about the success stories, as well as challenges and opportunities you encounter on the ground within the sector and in the communities you work with. We use this space to gather insights and valuable knowledge to amplify VCSE voices in decision-making arenas we are involved in, advocating for the needs of the sector and influencing policy development within Manchester and beyond.
The Community Explorers network not only connects you with fellow VCSE groups in your area but also fosters cross-sector collaboration with NHS and Manchester City Council colleagues. This collaborative environment allows you to share information about your current activities, learn about developments in your region and contribute to the work of our Policy and Influence Team, ensuring your priorities are represented in our workstreams.
We hold Monthly Zoom meetings separately for North, Central and South Manchester, as well as quarterly, themed events for all of Manchester. View our Community Explorers page for more information, or contact emily.mckinnell@macc.org.uk.
