About the Gio Project

In May 2008 VAM was successful in gaining four-year funding through the Big Lottery Fund Basis programme. This is to provide services to voluntary and community organisations (including social enterprises, industrial and provident societies and charities) with income over £50,000 in the City of Manchester.

The Gio project will be providing information, advice, training and one-to-one support on issues such as sustainable funding and opportunities for earning income, developing long-term funding strategies, commissioning and tendering, media & ICT including website development, marketing & promotion, organisational development, governance issues and crisis support.
