Individuals

We care about those people who care enough to act. We champion local people doing extraordinary things together. And when advice, encouragement and funding is needed, Forever Manchester is there to provide a hand up to support them.
Every donation, helps make a real difference in your local communities.

We are a charity for people round ‘ere, supporting community activity year in and year out. But to do all this great stuff we need your help. Your generosity can create something special right across Greater Manchester, keeping it great, and we can help you along the way.

Since we were established in 1989 we’ve delivered over £67 million into local communities. All of the money raised for Forever Manchester is used to fund and support over 1,300 community projects each year. This means we will have supported community activity within one mile of your home or business if it’s in Greater Manchester.

Our experience in managing funding and awards, alongside our extensive knowledge of the communities in Greater Manchester makes giving easy for you, however you choose to give.
