Moss Side Community Fund

We are extremely proud to be launching the second round of the Moss Side Community Fund 

In our ongoing efforts to support the community of Moss Side in being a safe and thriving place to live, MSV Housing, One Manchester, Arawak Walton, Jigsaw Homes and Great Places have come together to offer grant funding to local groups and organisations providing vital services.

​

This partnership will pool our resources and allow us to develop new initiatives in Moss Side to help strengthen the local community and allow groups and organisations to grow and bring their own project ideas to life.
