OUR History

GMECN is a community led network that grew from Global Majority organisations in Greater Manchester. It has been around for 15 years. We became an independent organisation Community Interest Company (CIC) in 2023.  Our community is for organisations majority led by and/or supporting GLobal Majority Communities who experience racial inequalities across Greater Manchester.
