VCSE Commissioning Framework: 4 years on - survey findings
Over February and March of 2024, we carried out a survey to find out how much progress we had made on the VCSE Commissioning Framework recommendations over the past 4 years. Although the response rate was fairly low, we gathered valuable insight into current experiences of VCSE Commissioning, which are summarised in this report.
These findings have been used to refine the VCSE Commissioning and Investment Group’s plans for 24/5 and beyond.

We're working with Cooperatives UK to support Greater Manchester's Social Economy
Funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (E26), 10GM is supporting social economy organisations to deliver an alternative way of doing business in Greater Manchester.
Working with LIOs across GM, we’ll offer bespoke specialist support to social economy organisations such as cooperatives, social enterprises, community businesses and registered charities. GM’s LIOs have a deep understanding of the complexity of the Greater Manchester social ecosystem and have the specific knowledge and experience needed to support this sector. Cooperatives UK are creating an Online Inclusive Ownership Platform with wrap-around staff support, due to launch in Summer 2024.
The 10GM VCSE leadership programmes have begun!
As part of our exciting VCSE Workforce Development Programme leadership and development activities, we've brought together participants from our existing and future VCSE leaders cohorts, to co-design and shape two new leadership learning programmes.
Kerry Tottingham from A Brilliant Thing CIC facilitated a creative co-design session for existing leaders, where participants mapped their collective vision and goals for leadership development, with a strong focus on inclusive leadership practices.
Future VCSE leaders also took part in a range of co-design activities and discussions, facilitated by Claire Ebrey from On The Level and Ed Moss from The Space to Thrive. The group explored a range of themes including barriers to developing as a leader, developing confidence, collaboration and skills sharing.
