Our groups and volunteers data has been updated to include data for the first quarter of 2015/16.
Mike Wild, Chief Executive at Macc, has released a video talking about why we decided to release open data and the data we’ve made available for everyone.
Challenge from Mike - What data do you share and how are you sharing it?
We’re keen to encourage as many groups as possible to share their data and we’d like to hear from you about your experiences.
“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
An eye-catching, limited edition, printed collection of analysis and ideas on devolution has been launched by The University of Manchester.
On Devo brings together nine of the most essential blogs on devolution so far that have appeared on Manchester Policy Blogs – explaining and questioning its impact on the region’s politics, the economy, health and social care and immigration, as well as examining the role the new mayor will play.
Like many other local voluntary and community groups, Macc is currently faced with a situation where the demand on our services is increasing at a time when key funders have significantly cut our funding whilst also advising that there are more and deeper cuts to come.
A short (5 min) video blog on why Macc decided to develop a policy on Open Data and how we chose what data to share.

Manchester needs a law centre. If people are committed then there will be a new law centre, owned by the community and providing high quality legal representation – for free.
In Greater Manchester there were eight law centres. Now just two remain. The city of Manchester itself which had three has become a law-centre-free zone. The Government wants to prevent access to justice and does so most effectively by removing the advice agencies that can deliver that access to those most in need.
The Spirit of Manchester Awards is a series of awards celebrating and highlighting all the excellent work being carried out in Manchester’s voluntary and community sector. As well as providing recognition to the sector in these hard times, we want to raise the profile of the sector amongst the general public and encourage local giving and active citizenship.
The web based multi-agency Greater Manchester Safeguarding Procedures have recently been updated. A summary of the latest updates can be found attached.
