Monday 22 July 2019 marks 100 years (to the day) of the formation of Manchester and Salford Council of Social Service. Macc, Salford CVS and Gaddum have worked together to mark the occasion with a celebratory event at the People’s History Museum. We felt it is important to mark 100 years of social action across the twin cities of Salford and Manchester.
The course will be delivered by Nigel Rose, Strategic Lead (Commissioning) for Macc, whose role is to improve the commissioning by public bodies of voluntary and community organisations.
The course uses a mixture of presentation and discussion of a case study to help participants to:
Darren Knight, Chief Executive of Bolton CVS has conducted some research, on behalf of Greater Manchester VCSE Devolution Refernce Group, into the relationship of Local Care Organisations (organisations that bring together stautory community health and social care providers) and the VCSE sector. In brief, all LCO's want to work with VCSE sector and recognise their importance but that is not translating into funding or consistent engagement mechanisms as yet.
I like stats and I like stories and I like it even better when the two are put together, because that’s where real richness is found.

We seek to improve related policy and practice."

Does your organisation deliver innovative work in health and social care in Greater Manchester?
The Manchester Provider Board (MPB) is inviting Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector Organisations to attend one of a set of “Future-Search” workshops to discuss the future of community health and social care services in Manchester.
The co-design group met on Feb 21st 2017 to discuss the results of the consultation and work out the implications for the design of the funding programme, identifying a number of issues that needed further work. These included answers to questions such as: what does strength based funding mean and how would it be evidenced?; define what Manchester-based is and how it is measured?; and what is the approach to neighbourhoods where there are not strong organisations? An implementation group was formed and has been meeting weekly to develop the detail of the funding programme.
This document is a summary of the results of consultation carried out by Manchester City Council (MCC), with the support of Macc, concerning proposals for funding for voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSO) in Manchester.
