Co-designing Change: Local Infrastructure Lessons from the Live Well Communities Fund

Local VCFSE Infrastructure Organisations across Greater Manchester have rapidly co-designed and tested innovative approaches to participatory grantmaking, with the aim of shifting power to communities and reducing inequalities.

This document shares snapshots from each locality, highlighting new practices and innovations from the fund’s first phase. The work is still in progress, and more updates will follow. A full Learning Pack is also being created by funders and community researchers to share what we’ve learned in the first year.
