Dear All,
Our thoughts today, following the horrendous incident at the Manchester Arena last night, are with those who were caught up in the attack, especially those killed and injured and their families. Such acts of indiscriminate terror have no part in our society and we stand together with all who long for a world in which violence and terror does not have the last word.
As faith and interfaith groups in Manchester, we reaffirm our commitment to working together to increase understanding and respect between all people.
We have pulled together a range of information collected so far about the additional support local charities & community organisations are offering in the aftermath of the events.

Like everyone else in Manchester and around the country all of us at Macc are horrified by the events which took place in the city centre last night. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those who died and those who are waiting anxiously for news of their loved ones.

The purpose of the Playscheme funding is to complement the all year round play offer in Manchester. The funding is to provide free open access play activities, over the summer holidays with a particular focus on addressing gaps in provision, increasing the numbers of disabled children accessing universal play services and increasing children’s opportunities to outdoor play. It is envisaged that this will be done through the delivery of play activities from the Voluntary and Community Sector in Manchester.
One Manchester is aware that grant funding isn’t always the best way to gain support for projects. Sometimes it’s more valuable to help community groups and organisations to crowdfund to get their projects off the ground or take them to the next level.
