At Action Together we recognise community action is taking place across Oldham & we want to encourage & support this action.
Connect 5 Training
Connect 5 is a mental health promotion training programme designed to increase the confidence & skills of front-line staff & volunteers around mental health & wellbeing.
Oldham Community Health Champions
Our Community Champions approach has enabled us to build a coordinated community engagement network connecting into our communities that suffer from the deepest inequalities & have seldom heard voices.
Oldham Household Support Fund
Oldham Council is working with Action Together to launch Phase 4 of the Household Support Fund.
The purpose of this fund is to provide a flexible cash first fund which can meet emergency needs for residents before financial challenges escalate. It is aimed at those from communities & in situations where offers from the existing structured system are less trusted, accessible or appropriate. As well as reducing the impact of the cost of living crisis for these residents who already face greater inequality, this will have the added benefit of building trust for future initiatives to work better & reducing the likelihood of those communities needing more expensive interventions further down the line.
Oldham Vaccination Programme
The aim of the funding from 10GM is:
- To increase Covid & flu vaccination uptake among communities experiencing health inequalities in Oldham
- Support VCFSE groups to develop their capacity to support individuals
Oldham Warm Hub Investment
This investment is for community venues in Oldham that are providing a safe & welcoming space for people to come & keep warm with a range of other services available such as hot drinks, food, internet access & other activities.
One Oldham Fund

Standing Together Domestic Abuse Fund
Oldham Community Safety and Cohesion Partnership have agreed a grant investment from the Standing Together Community Grant Fund to enable voluntary, community, faith & social enterprise groups & organisations who support victims & families affected by domestic violence & abuse to continue to provide support in the absence of other funding streams.
