Voluntary Sector Assembly - State of the Sector

The social and political landscape has changed significantly since the publication of the first State of the Sector report in 2013. The launch of the latest report took place on 1 June and the next Voluntary Sector Assembly will give everyone an opportunity to study the findings and discuss the current strength of the Manchester voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE). How has the number of voluntary sector organisations changed and how healthy are their finances currently? How many people are volunteering in Manchester compared to four years ago?

Mike Wild, Macc Chief Executive, will be presenting the facts and figures from the State of the Sector report and explaining what this means for VCSE organisations in the city.

Also, you will have an opportunity to choose from three practical workshops which will discuss the implications of Brexit for the VCSE, take a look at the future of volunteering and give the opportunity to ask those all important social media questions in an interactive Q&A session.

This Voluntary Sector Assembly is an opportunity to examine where we are as the Manchester VCSE sector and how we can move forward in the future to maintain and increase our effectiveness. Please join us for what should be an interesting afternoon of discussion and debate.
