Manchester International Festival (MIF) are looking to recruit around 400 volunteers aged 18 and over from all over Greater Manchester.
The festival is in its 4th year now and returns from 4 – 21 July 2013, showcasing extraordinary and original work from the world’s leading artists across the spectrum of performing arts, popular culture and visual arts.
MIF are looking to recruit volunteers, whose invaluable support helps to make the Festival a success. There are a variety of roles for all skill levels, from front of house to backstage and marketing to administration.
From February 2013, records of baptisms, marriages and burials for the Greater Manchester area will be published online at Ancestry.co.uk.
The collections, dating from the 1500s to the 20th century, include church registers for Anglican churches in the Diocese of Manchester, including Manchester Cathedral.
In partnership with Ancestry.co.uk, Manchester City Council has digitised the original registers and there is now a name index of over 6,000,000 records accessible on the web.
Free access to Ancestry.co.uk is available at any Manchester City Council library.

Hello Everyone,
I’m sure some of you will have heard that I will be leaving Macc at the end of this week. I’m off to pastures new (and cold) where I will be completing my Applied Psychologist training for children and young people in Glasgow. I’m very much looking forward to the new challenges this will bring.
I have really enjoyed the last three years at Macc working in a sector that is constantly evolving and striving to improve outcomes for children, young people and families in a difficult and challenging environment.
The community associations Manchester City Council support have historically been established community centres or associations providing a range of services and activities, or enabling others to provide services and activities, for local people. Just over £430,000 is spent on grant funding to support the valuable work these groups carry out in the community and we believe these associations have played a vital role in supporting local residents in response to local needs.
Community Association Funding Programme July 2013 - March 2016
In LSEN, we're quite excited at the moment about Open Badges as a means of promoting and strengthening informal and learner-led learning.
Open Badges are a way of accrediting learning, skills and achievements - both big and small. They also allow accreditation to be granted outside of traditional institutional pathways. Virtually any organisation or individual can issue a badge, about virtually anything.
Macc aims to provide a high standard of service to all the partner agencies, groups and individuals with whom we work. If you are not satisfied with any aspect of the support you have received from us,
Before making a complaint
Please feel able to discuss any concerns as soon as possible with the person you have been dealing with at Macc. They will deal with your enquiry promptly, and do their best to put things right. All members of staff are aware that at times things can (and do) go wrong and staff are encouraged to deal with such matters.
Once a group has contacted us we will determine what support we can offer. In some circumstances the support we offer will include support from an external supplier with particular expertise and knowledge.
Here’s a guide to how this works:
Manchester is offering unprecedented market opportunities for experienced childcare providers in the near future.
Manchester City Council is committed to ensuring that its diverse population of young people get the best possible start in life, regardless of background, and are well supported throughout their early years. The Council are therefore looking to accept bids from high-quality day care providers, whether large or small - private sector, third sector or community-based, to deliver high quality day care in Manchester.
