At Action Together we recognise community action is taking place across Oldham and we want to encourage and support this action.
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 and 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 and reducing the likelihood of those communities needing more expensive interventions further down the line.
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 and social enterprise groups and organisations who support victims and families affected by domestic violence and abuse to continue to provide support in the absence of other funding streams.
Volunteer Celebration Fund
Action Together invited local voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups across Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside to apply for one of our Volunteer Celebration Fund grants to support an activity celebrating volunteers.
One Oldham Fund
Since the One Oldham Fund launched in October 2021 the voluntary sector in Oldham has received £1,687,334 in grants from Fund.
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 and have seldom heard voices.
