About us

Introducing Greater Manchester Poverty Action

GMPA is a not-for-profit organisation that works to prevent and reduce poverty across Greater Manchester. We have developed extensive knowledge about poverty in the city region, identified a powerful network of stakeholders and organisations who share our values, aims and vision and we have influenced policy and practice in several ways since we were constituted in 2016.

Our vision is of a Greater Manchester free from poverty where all residents can realise their potential and access the benefits of living in a diverse and vibrant city region.

Our Network

GMPA’s work involves engaging with stakeholders across Greater Manchester. The network includes over 1700 organisations and individuals from across the private, public and VCSE sectors who receive our fortnightly newsletter. Members of this network also attend our events, engage in our policy and programmes work and work with us to identify responses to poverty across the city region.
