Rethinking Public Service Delivery in Greater Manchester.
A partnership of charities and social businesses operating across the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System.


Providing high quality service solutions
The Alternative Provider Collaborative (APC) is a partnership of charities and social businesses delivering NHS services across the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System.

Innovation to tackle inequality
The Alternative Provider Collaborative creates a hotbed for social innovation where ideas and interventions can be tested and scaled quickly with an ‘open source’ approach to sharing ideas and best practice.

Successful partnership working
The APC is a values-based partnership based on the principles of collaboration, co-production and a commitment to social justice.

The Greater Manchester Alternative Provider Collaborative (GM APC) is proud to announce that we’ve joined Social Enterprise UK, the national body for social enterprises.
As a growing network of values-led, community-rooted providers committed to health equity and innovation, this step strengthens our voice nationally and opens new opportunities for collaboration, visibility, and influence.
