About the board

The Manchester business board was formed in 2001 and aims to promote long term relationships between the Manchester business community and the NSPCC, in order to generate regular funds to protect vulnerable children in the local area.

Members act as advocates, influencing and to leveraging support for the NSPCC in and Manchester and outlying towns including Salford, Stockport and Oldham. The board also raises money through a calendar of events, employee fundraising campaigns and corporate adoptions.

Since its formation, the group has not only engaged with hundreds of businesses and raised over £200,000, but has also been closely involved in the development of the NSPCC's strategy to 2016.
