OUR History
GMECN is a community led network that grew from Ethnic Community organisations in Greater Manchester. We became an independent organisation Community Interest Company (CIC) in 2023. Our community is for organisations majority led by and/or supporting Ethnic Communities who experience racial inequalities across Greater Manchester.
