Some of these activities we have been delivering for some time such as providing unfunded support into work for our pre-employment learners. Other activities are new such as supporting the voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation (VCSE) provider base in Greater Manchester to help them become more resilient and better equipped to assist the residents and communities they serve.
