Two live issues are currently affecting VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester:

- technical problems at CAF Bank, which may be preventing access to funds, including salary payments.
- the data breach at Beacon CRM system used by some VCSE groups and organisations.

Through our 10GM partnership, Local Infrastructure Organisations across Greater Manchester are hosting a short online session to bring together leaders of VCSE organisations affected by these issues to find out who might have been affected, how we can share support and information, and find out what we as local infrastructure organisations can do to support you.

If you've been affected - or if you can support in any way - we would value your attendance and voice at this session.
