Communities in Charge | Oldham

We’re investing in local projects that improve health, wellbeing and community connection. Where do you think community funding should go? Let's decide together!

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.

This has been awarded from The National Lottery Community Fund’s new You Decide programme - involving communities directly in decisions about funding good causes. You Decide is key to the funder’s efforts to put community power, agency, and control at the heart of its funding in England - supporting communities to live happier, healthier lives. This truly life-changing funding has been made possible by National Lottery players.
