Aims / Priorities:
The One Oldham Fund is a strategic single investment fund that uses pooled resources for the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Oldham.
This investment, which forms part of a larger investment made by the Department for Transport to Transport for Greater Manchester (on behalf of GMCA) will support the sector’s resilience to enable VCFSE organisations that are locally rooted and active in Oldham to support the Active Travel Programme in Oldham.
What do we mean by Active Travel?
Applications should be for projects that aim to support people to choose to travel across their local area either by walking or cycling, creating a culture shift of moving more as part of everyday journeys by increasing confidence, improving infrastructure and working with the people of Oldham to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents.
What can the funding be used for?
Projects should support one or more of the following priorities:
- Enhancing and developing active travel programmes and activities
- Increasing knowledge, skills, awareness and confidence about active travel and walking and cycling infrastructure
- Influencing behaviour change within communities so residents participate in active travel,
and should benefit residents of the Central District of Oldham.

- Up to £1,000 if you are:
