Oldham Central - Communities in Charge - Design Jam

£50,000 will be invested in Oldham Central, and we want you to help decide how it will be spent! Join us at our Design Jam where residents and people who care about Oldham Central can help shape how funding is used to improve health, wellbeing and local connection

Thanks to National Lottery players, Action Together has received life-changing funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. £50,000 will be invested into each six neighbourhoods across Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside to support local people to design and lead participatory grant making, ensuring communities decide how funding is used to improve health, wellbeing and local connection. This will help grassroots groups have fairer access to funding, alongside practical support and learning that strengthens community capacity and long-term impact.

Join us for our Oldham Central Design Jam where we will talk about priorities for the place you care about, and develop your ideas for how to fund the best projects in Oldham Central.

We want to make sure residents, as well as VCFSE organisations have their voice heard at this event. Please invite other residents and people who work in Oldham Central to this event.

Please complete our quick survey and tell us what matters most to you to help us shape priorities for funding ahead of this event: forms.Communities in Charge: Have Your Say – Fill out form
