Comic Relief Core Strength – Local Communities

15 Sep 2017 - 09:19 by michelle.foster

Forever Manchester have launched Core Strength – Local Communities for 2017/18. This 12-month programme is responding to the growing need of small, locally led groups to cover their day-to-day costs. The aim is to provide funding for groups’ core costs – meaning expenditure that is not connected to delivering projects but focusing on investing in the organisation as a whole, such as basic running costs. Forever Manchester know securing core funding can be tough and want to use this programme to help support those doing much needed work in their local communities.
