We will also be inviting training providers and those organisations who can provide residents with potential job opportunities.
Your organisation is more than welcome to attend more than one of these events, just make sure you register your interest in having a stall/information for each fair separately - below.
If you get funding from Manchester City Council and are facing a cut you should have received an impact assessment form to complete. This is your opportunity to let them know how the proposed cuts will affect your organisation and your service users and it is very important that you fill it in fully. This guide will help you to do that
We know that the cuts are going to have a devestating impact on voluntary and community sector groups and reduce their ability to provide help and support to those that need it.
It is important that the impact of these cuts on voluntary groups, service users, family members and carers is understood by as many people as possible.
Here you can share your case studies and find out about what is happening across the sector.
