One week on from the Spirit of Manchester Awards and we're still feeling the buzz of excitement from the amazing work carried out from the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector! The city of Manchester really is an amazing place to be 💜

We're holding an information/networking event to promote the role and impact of trusteeship. We want to encourage connections between potential trustees and directors and the recruiting charities and organisations from the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. https://ow.ly/AZjM50ZTs7l
