Our Reports

We believe that showing the impact made possible by the support of local businesses, funders, and individuals across Greater Manchester is very important.

The first independent report, produced in partnership with Forever Consulting, shines a light on the unique power of local grassroots projects – everything from gardening clubs and youth activities to mental health groups and cultural celebrations. It’s a real celebration of what happens when local people are given the support to come together and make a difference where they live.

The second independent report, also produced in partnership with Forever Consulting, shows the real impact of our ABCD work from 2011 to 2025. From engaging nearly 6,000 residents, to delivering over 70,000 hours of community activity, to supporting hundreds of grassroots projects through our Great Stuff Awards, the results are clear: communities are becoming more connected, stronger, and happier.

Take a look through our reports, and we hope they inspire your confidence and encourages you to invest in the extraordinary potential of local people across Greater Manchester.
