Our partnerships

Salford CVS works within a wider framework in terms of our membership of NAVCA and NCVO nationally and our membership of, and involvement with, GMCVO and other local infrastructure organisations across Greater Manchester (GM).

In January 2016 Salford CVS, along with the other GM local infrastructure organisations, created a new joint venture called 10GM.

 The purpose of 10GM is to bring partners together to:

• Increase the effectiveness of the VCSE sector in tackling/reducing inequality across the communities of Greater Manchester
• Equip people and organisations within the sector to increase and demonstrate their impact on the lives of people who live work and study in Greater Manchester
• Support a strong independent voice for the sector which can shape key areas of policy and decision making
• Enhance communication and collaboration within the sector and with public, private and academic sector partners
• Increase the effectiveness, sustainability and ingenuity of support to the sector in all boroughs
