The One Oldham Fund is a strategic single investment fund that uses pooled resources for the voluntary, community, faith & 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 & active in Oldham to support the Active Travel Programme in Oldham.
What do we mean by Active Travel?
Applications are for projects that aimed 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 & working with the people of Oldham to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents.
