Time to GO

Spring Bank Holiday weekend's GO Manchester event was the last one for the foreseeable future. Like many projects in the public and voluntary sector, funding for GO Manchester was time limited and has now ended. CSV, GO's head body, is currently investigating different funding opportunities in the hope of reviving GO Manchester, so they hope to return in a new and improved form at some point in the not-too-distant future.

Since it began in February 1999, GO Manchester has organised over 200 hands-on volunteering events all over Greater Manchester, from Wythenshawe to Withington, from Blackley to Burnage, and from Cheetham to Chorlton. They've recruited over 3,200 volunteers, painted countless murals and completed a wide variety of conservation projects. GO Manchester has made a visible impact on a huge number of voluntary and community groups' premises, carrying out fantastic work that would otherwise have been impossible. They've introduced hundreds of people with busy lives to the world of volunteering, many of whom have gone on to donate their time to other worthwhile causes.
