Description: The Awarding Authority, are investing £1.04million into the Covid Recovery Fund to support voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSE) to work together to help to strengthen their support to people across the Specified Location.During the pandemic VCSE organisations have responded to massive increases in demand whilst also transforming how their services are delivered and planning for an uncertain future. Partnership working between VCSE organisations has continued to grow during the pandemic, with new and existing collaborations working together to overcome profound challenges, develop new offers or strengthen what they deliver to residents.At a time when it seems likely that there will be a renewed period of austerity, and funding pipelines are uncertain, it is critical that VCSE organisations continue to collaborate rather than compete for diminishing resources. This fund is based on the fundamental belief that VCSE organisations are at their best when they work together, learn from each other, plan together and share resources, data and expertise whilst each maintaining their independence and vision. It is intended to support both collaborations that began during the pandemic and those that existed before in becoming stronger and more effective in meeting the health and wellbeing needs of people in Manchester, especially those most badly impacted during the crisis.5.
