"The Greater Manchester Handbook"
Centre for Voluntary Organisation, £9
The Handbook contains nearly 200 pages of valuable information about all of Greater Manchester with
sections on voluntary organisations, public bodies, politicians, media, venues and resources. The sections are well
organised and the information clearly presented with the good use of symbols, but
in case you get stuck there is a comprehensive index to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Unfortunately, but understandably, only organisations that work in two or more of the 10 metropolitan districts
of Greater Manchester are included. Having said that, the Handbook is crammed full of vitally useful information.
The Networking Newsletter Project has got a hardcopy of the handbook available for reference (deposit required).
But, if you're often wanting to find out a group's address, a newspaper fax number
, or a cheap venue, then I'd highly recommend you buy your own copy - for just £9 to voluntary groups and organisations it's a must have. For orders and more information contact CVO on 0161 277 1000.
