Cost of Living Crisis Greater Manchester Funding Programme 2024-2025

Aims/priorities: Provided by the Eric Wright Charitable Trust, this funding will support the existing activities of medium-sized VCSE organisations in Greater Manchester.

Auto Trader Community Fund

Aims/priorities: The Auto Trader Community Fund aims to encourage and support grassroots community organisations.
