Greater Manchester Voluntary Sector Learning Consortium

Voluntary sector learning providers work positively with individuals who are most in need and experience barriers to learning for many reasons.

 

The vision of the Consortium:

Working collectively to provide consistent, high quality, accessible and diverse learning and guidance opportunities to people who experience disadvantage and barriers, who do not or cannot access mainstream learning provision. Enabling them to benefit from a wide choice of quality services tailored to their needs, gain qualifications and/or progress to further learning opportunities.

 

And our mission:

To provide procurement, monitoring and support frameworks to enable members to secure sustainable funding and resources, both collectively and individually to meet the needs of commissioning bodies and the learners they seek outcomes for.

ESF/Community Grants - Project Towpath
In July 2008, the GMVS Learning Consortium was awarded the contract for the Community Grants 'Project Towpath'. These grants were aimed specifically at all small voluntary and community sector groups within Greater Manchester that help people return to work. The final grants were awarded in March 2010 and the project has now finished.
