Professional development

Faith and Belief organisations and networks contribute in many different ways to society, especially to those most disadvantaged. This includes people experiencing homelessness as well as those seeking asylum, refugees and other migrants, many of whom are facing such challenging times. For those who face barriers to mainstream or local authority services, for example if they have no recourse to public funds, it is often Faith and Belief that people turn to. They are trusted, embedded in communities in a unique way and can offer spiritual, emotional and practical advice, guidance and care.

This online event will bring together Trade Unions, The Good Employment Charter, The Living Wage Foundation and others to discuss the future of the Real Living Wage in Greater Manchester in the light of the new Labour government and proposed new employment legislation. 

Aimed primarily at trade unionists the event is open to anyone interested in discussing the future of the campaign for the Real Living Wage in GM. The event will be a mix of speakers and open discussion and debate.

These meetings are a chance for GM Ethnic Communities Network members and allies to connect, share experiences and learn from one another as well as hear from guest speakers on relevant topics.

Free refreshments and a vegetarian lunch will be provided.
