In co‐production with Macc and Manchester Local Involvement Network, the event was an opportunity for people to:
• Find out more information about the three Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups and their visions and plans
• Find out how as individuals or community groups/organisations they can engage with the Clinical Commissioning Groups and their Patient and Public Advisory Groups
• Find out more about the Voluntary and Community Sector services in Manchester, how they are ready for the challenge of clinical commissioning and development work taking place

We are looking for people from local voluntary and community groups to join the Board of the new Voluntary and Community Sector Assembly for Manchester.

In the workshop at the Macc to the Future event in late September, it was generally agreed to get on with setting up the Assembly, we should seek to establish a Board by recruitment for the first year. This Board will then be subject to election at the Assembly’s first Annual Event in September 2013.
