Greater Manchester Databank

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is working with Good Things Foundation to deliver the National Databank locally.

The Greater Manchester Databank will help support residents on low incomes from becoming at further disadvantage by being unable to access the opportunities digital access brings. 

A 'food bank for connectivity data’, the Databank is helping thousands of people to get connected by giving community groups and charities access to free data.
