The #GivingTuesday movement originally launched in the US in 2012. It is intended as an antidote to the start of the festive shopping season, which is kicked off by Black Friday sales and Cyber Monday shopping online. More and more companies are bringing the Black Friday sales and the Cyber Monday online shopping spree to these shores.
Manchester has a long history of voluntary and community action and a sector which embodies the passions and ideals of the city. Manchester enjoys huge economic success but it is not yet shared by all and life chances are not equal. There are literally hundreds of local organisations working every day in communities to provide an enormous range of support and help but also many of the cultural and social activities around the city.
We have developed these how-to-guides which can help you get started in using our system. If you cannot find the answer within these guides and require further support, please get in touch.
