Greater Manchester Third Sector Research Network

The Greater Manchester Third Sector Research Network is a regular meeting of practitioners and academics based in or working on the third sector in Greater Manchester. The purpose of the network is to:

• Exchange information
• Discuss issues of concern to your area of work
• Obtain feedback on ideas, thoughts and projects
• Obtain peer support and review
• Learn from each other

Co-hosted by GMCVO researcher Susanne Martikke and Claire Moxham of Manchester Business School, the network is open to those based within the Greater Manchester voluntary sector or academia who collect and analyse information on the sector, its activities and their impact. The network is a forum for practitioners and academics to learn from each other and exchange experiences. It aims to provide an open space to discuss issues related to finding out information and conducting research within the voluntary sector in Greater Manchester. Shared learning is the focus of the network and whilst joint working on funding proposals might be an outcome for individual members of the group, the group makes it clear that the pursuit of funding is not a primary aim of the network.
