Wednesday 8 July 2026 | People’s History Museum, Manchester
Join us for a celebration of the renewed Greater Manchester VCFSE Accord (2026–2035) – a shared commitment that sets out how the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector and public sector partners, including the health and care system, will work together over the next decade.
Following its signing on 27th March 2026, this celebration will bring together VCFSE organisations, public sector leaders and system partners from across Greater Manchester to celebrate the role of the VCFSE sector, showcase what we have achieved together so far, and explore how we build on this.
About the Accord

It builds on a decade of collaboration, setting out a clear framework to support:
- Stronger, more equal partnerships
- Better outcomes for Greater Manchester’s residents, communities, places and the environment.
- A sustainable, resilient VCFSE sector
