A Guide to filling in Manchester City Council’s Impact Assessment Form
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.
