#WednesdaysWeekly Oldham Cost-of-Living Crisis Series
We're working with colleagues across Oldham Partnership and Oldham VCFSE to deliver a #WednesdaysWeekly Cost-of-Living Crisis Series. Each week starting 26 October we'll hear from a whole range of services and organisations who are providing support and help to residents related to help them through the crisis, and will have some time for Q's and A's. As the sessions are confirmed we'll be adding them here with the links for booking, and will be highlighting them in our Training Bulletins and our Oldham Community News

Oldham Money Advice Referral Tool
Greater Manchester Poverty Action has co-produced a Money Advice Referral Tool for Oldham Borough. The tool describes all the places that people can go for advice and other income maximisation support. The aim is to help people get all the money that they are entitled to, and to reduce the need for referrals to food banks, by increasing referrals to other kinds of support.
