ALL Community Group
Network
ALL Community Group Network was founded in order to
enable and encourage voluntary and community groups in Ardwick, Longsight
and Levenshulme to support each other and share information.
The idea is that, by working together more closely and
communicating with each other more frequently, local voluntary and community
groups can co-ordinate their efforts in order to work with greater
efficiency and provide a stronger voice for the local voluntary sector.

Each year over 3 million visits are made to professional theatres,
concert halls, museums and galleries of Greater Manchester.
Audiences are the life blood of the arts, but in an increasingly crowded

that these audiences continue to grow, keeping on top of marketing trends,
opportunities and methodologies.
A centre for marketing and audience development knowledge, Arts About
Manchester exists to support arts venues in achieving their optimal
audience reach.
