This portfolio series highlights different ways the VCFSE sector is helping to create a fairer and more inclusive economy in Greater Manchester.
Each part of the portfolio will focus on a specific aspect of an inclusive economy, we will explain how each aspect works and how the approaches delivered by the VCFSE sector help to make our economy fairer. We will share profiles of organisations that showcase practical examples of how the sector works with and in communities and illustrate how the sector increases participation, equity, growth, stability and sustainability; all of which are required to make our economy more inclusive. Over time, we will add new topics to the portfolio, focusing on different aspects of an inclusive economy, highlighting more examples of the VCFSE sector’s role in creating a fairer economy and their contribution to achieving the commitments of the Greater Manchester Strategy. We hope these examples will be shared widely with colleagues across sectors to raise the profile of the VCFSE sector’s impact in achieving the Greater Manchester vision. Part 1 of this portfolio looks at Community Ownership.
