The Programme Challenger Board is the executive function of the
Programme Challenger partnership in Greater Manchester. Membership of the Challenger Board comprises senior managers from key partners from the public and third sectors. The Challenger Board scrutinises partnership progress against the implementation of the Greater Manchester Serious and Organised Crime strategy and provides strategic assistance to the Programme Challenger partnership in respect of delivery of the Challenger action plan.

The Board directs the activity of its working groups and monitors activity of other governance groups that report into the Board. Members commit to ensuring that the work of Challenger features on other strategic and executive partnership boards across Greater Manchester, including safeguarding boards and community safety partnerships across the ten districts. The board is chaired by an independent chair. This meeting serves as the second quarterly meeting of the board in 2025 and will also function as an away day for board members to workshop priorities and actionable outcomes for the next 12 months of board delivery.
