Organisation types
Community organisations are voluntary sector organisations – typically charities, social enterprises, unincorporated associations and schools. They can register to access support from businesses for their social impact projects.
Businesses or suppliers can register to support voluntary sector organisations by donating resources such as expertise, materials and funding. These donations can form part of your Social Value or Corporate Social Responsibility.
Authorities are the organisations behind the scenes, using Match My Project with their suppliers and community partners and collecting the data. Please get in touch for a demo to explore how Match My Project could work for your organisation.
Individuals can sign up to Match My Project to access jobs, training and work placement opportunities offered by businesses.
Which authority should I sign up with?
If you already have an existing relationship with an authority, you can sign up with them. If not, you can choose the right authority for you based on location.
In the North West region:
Stockport and Wigan council just cover their boroughs.
Onward works in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.
Sanctuary works in Warrington, Liverpool and the Wirral.
To check the exact locations an authority operates in, see the list of locations on that authority’s community organisation signup form.
What if I want to signup to multiple authorities?
To access multiple authorities, you’ll need to complete an initial signup with one authority.
After you’ve logged into your account, you can then apply to other authorities through your profile.
To find out how it works, please see this guide.
