Help shape a celebration event for renewed Greater Manchester VCFSE Accord
Help shape a celebration event for the renewed Greater Manchester VCFSE Accord, taking place 8th July 2026 in Manchester.
We want to make sure everyone – from social enterprises and community groups, to colleagues in health and care - can take something from the day.
We’re welcoming contributions to help shape a major moment, as we come together to celebrate the renewed GM VCFSE Accord - a collaboration agreement between the public sector, including the health and care system, and the VCFSE sector in Greater Manchester.
This event will celebrate what we’ve already achieved together and set the tone for how we work in partnership, with shared values, over the next decade.
You could:
- Join or contribute to an advisory group to help shape sessions, or bring ideas to ensure the event is inclusive, accessible and meaningful.
- Share your story – are you a community group with an example of effective collaboration with your local authority that made a real impact?
Across all contributions, we’re guided by the values that underpin the Accord: Honesty, Ambition, Accountability and Trust.
And its shared priority areas for change: Involve & Devolve, Resource & Enable, and Recognise & Value.
Get in touch with lucy.north@vsnw.org.uk if would like to know more or get involved.
