Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations have been hit hard by the economic and operational consequences of the pandemic. A new service has been launched to help organisations come back stronger from the challenges presented during the pandemic, this time better equipped and better prepared with the skills for the future.

Skills for Growth - SME Support is a fully funded, tailored service offering one-to-one, personalised and impartial advice from skills coaches, wellbeing champions and change specialists to help organisations grow through re-shaping, developing talent and enhancing team performance.

Available to all VCSE organisations in Greater Manchester with more than 5 employees as well as individuals, the service is delivered by Growth Company (GC) Business Growth Hub in partnership with Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO), funded through the European Social Fund and commissioned by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
