About us
We are a coalition of 4 organisations from across Greater Manchester who came together in 2022 to explore a Living Income in Greater Manchester, and coordinate the efforts of people in communities across Greater Manchester.

For us living in Greater Manchester, we know what we need so that we can have fulfilled lives.

Our Steering Group includes members from these organisations:

New Economics Foundation aims to transform the economy so it works for people and the planet, igniting change from below and combining this with rigorous research to fight for change at the top.

The Mama Health and Poverty Partnership brings together specialist services for Black women and girls by Black African women to change their experiences and address health inequalities and poverty.

Middleton Cooperating is a people-centred, community-led Middleton-wide organisation - working together for the benefit of all the people in our M24 postcode and aiming to be Manchester’s first co-operative town.

Our Agency CIC is an organisation which seeks to create the conditions where people who've experienced trauma and/or extreme marginalisation can develop agency and autonomy.
