GMVSS Factsheets
The factsheets were compiled by members of Greater Manchester Voluntary Sector Support (GMVSS), who collaborated to consolidate over 200 existing factsheets and produce new factsheets from scratch through a wide range of expertise. The aims of the initiative were to better co-ordinate and manage information for the sector, offering better consistency and access to crucial areas of support. The collaboration has included Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO), Voluntary and Community Action Trafford (VCAT), Tameside Third Sector Coalition (T3SC), and Bury Third Sector Development Agency (B3SDA).
Through a new format, the factsheets include everything from registering a charity to how to influence parliament and are now available to download below and from: www.gmvss.net/factsheets
