At Forever Manchester, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for everyone we engage with. This includes our grant seekers, community partners, volunteers, staff and supporters.

Our Commitment to You

We will treat everyone with kindness, dignity and respect. Whether you are applying for funding, seeking advice or simply getting in touch with us, our team will always talk to you with empathy, patience and support. We believe in nurturing positive relationships and developing trust with every communication and conversation.

Zero Tolerance for Discrimination, Harassment, or Abuse

Forever Manchester operates a strict zero tolerance policy regarding any form of:

  • Discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age or any other protected characteristic.
  • Harassment, intimidation, or bullying
  • Aggressive, abusive or threatening language or behaviour
  • Any actions that compromise the safety, wellbeing or dignity of others

This policy applies to all communications, whether in person, over the phone, by email or online – and it is upheld equally for our staff, trustees, volunteers, grant seekers, supporters and members of the public.

Consequences of Breaching these Standards

We reserve the right to take appropriate action where these standards are breached. This may include:

  • Pausing or ending communication
  • Withdrawing support or services
  • Excluding individuals or community groups from current and future grant opportunities

Together we can build stronger relationships and create lasting, positive change.
Together let’s build a community built on kindness.
