The Accord is a three-way collaboration agreement between the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and NHS GM and the GMVCFSE Sector represented by the GM VCFSE Leadership Group, based in a relationship of mutual trust, working together, and sharing responsibility.

In October 2023, the GMCA approved a Fair Funding Protocol with the VCSE sector. This is a supplement to the GM VCSE Accord and aims to improve the financial relationship between GMCA and VCSE organisations. It applies to all new grants and contracts let by GMCA using its own budget.
