    Brief

    The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) seeks support to facilitate the Greater Manchester Equality Panels, advisory bodies established to guide political leaders and policy-makers in addressing discrimination, disadvantage, and inequality across the region. The panels work collaboratively to: provide insights into diverse communities to enable targeted engagement; communicate key messages as trusted community sources; co-design policies and programmes that effectively serve all communities; and promote asset-based approaches that leverage community strengths and resources. This opportunity involves supporting panels that advise on inclusive city-region development and help ensure public bodies and leadership understand and respond to the needs of Greater Manchester's diverse populations.
