Manchester ending homelessness
The University of Manchester are currently working on an NIHR funded research project aiming to Enhance the CAMHS referral process.
The aim of the research is to understand what the difficulties are in making referrals to CAMHS services across the UK. We want to improve the quality of referrals to CAMHS services so that only children and young people who can be helped by CAMHS are referred; and so that others can be guided to receive help they need elsewhere.
Power to Change is partnering with Stir to Action to offer 80 free training places on the 2021/2022 New Economy Programme, a learning and action platform to support community business.
Power to Change aspires to diversify our reach, particularly with people from communities experiencing inequity. As such, we would like to offer free training places to the following people:
Minoritised ethnic communities
Young adult (aged 18-35)
The Charity Service have 20 x £250 grants available for small charities, community or voluntary groups in Greater Manchester who want to do something towards alleviating social isolation/loneliness or provide support to the homeless or vulnerable families and children this winter.
What can you apply for?
That is up to you but some things this could include is:
“The impact of no recourse to public funds has been on my mind a lot lately. No recourse to public funds (NRPF) is seen as a minority issue but it is a significant cause of poverty so it should be a priority issue for us all. We think that the welfare state is available to all that need help. In reality, there are many people in the UK who do not have an automatic right to that support - the help and support the rest of us take for granted.
The Government's Nationality and Borders Bill – or Anti Refugee Bill, threatens the biggest overhaul of the UK's asylum and immigration system in 20 years, and fundamentally threatens the right to seek asylum in the UK. The Bill is currently nearing report stage in the House of Commons.
Through National Lottery Project Grants, the Arts Council are working with Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to create more and better volunteering opportunities for young people and others who experience barriers to have high quality opportunities.
