CN4M Bulletin 17 Oct 08

About Community Network for Manchester:

Community Network for Manchester is an organisation that brings together a range of networks and pools. Networks are made up of a number of voluntary and community groups and they are concerned with either a geographical area or community of interest. Some networks also provide an additional strategic function that engages with statutory agencies.

• We are here to give the voluntary and community sector in Manchester the opportunity to have a strong and collective voice on the issues that matter to them.
• We build links between our networks, the wider voluntary community sector and statutory agencies to increase our potential to influence decisions across Manchester.
• We provide spaces and opportunities for networking, sharing ideas, knowledge and good practice.
