Macc is the lead agency for the Transforming Local Infrastructure Programme. It builds on the development of Manchester Community Central and the initiative of the City Council in rationalising support services. As a result of the TLI programme voluntary and community groups will get a clearer, joined up service, tailored to their needs, using the skills and specialities of each of the 14 organisation's involved. Fundamentally, it should be simple and easy for groups to find, access and use the support they need.
