Wigan
Wigan are currently developing their new Local Infrastructure Organisation, Wigan Borough Community First.
Wigan Borough Community First offers advice, training, and support to volunteers and any not-for-profit organisation operating within the Wigan Borough.
Prior to Wigan Borough Community First’s creation, 10GM have partnered with Wigan and Leigh Community Charity and Groundwork to shape and deliver a range of joint projects. You will see reference to these successful partnership pieces throughout our webpages and reports.
Over 2025, 10GM will continue to maintain our close working relationship with our colleagues in Wigan and Leigh Community Charity and Groundwork, whilst also welcoming and supporting our new colleagues from Wigan Borough Community First as they establish their new Local Infrastructure Organisation, and start to take the lead on a number of GM-wide Local Infrastructure-led projects.

Wigan and Leigh Community Charity
