Lots of people in Manchester choose to do something without payment to run sport and the arts, support other people when they’re vulnerable, provide programmes and activities for our children and young people, govern charities and community groups, raise funds for charity, protect and enhance the environment, develop other people’s skills, provide mutual support, health and social care services, and campaign for change. Many people who volunteer, don’t see themselves as volunteers but they are; giving back lots to their communities.
