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 from Oldham Council is to improve outcomes for individuals in structured treatment plans recovering from substance and alcohol abuse and to support VCFSE organisations to make a contribution to those outcomes over time.
Applications should aim to meet at least one or more of the following outcomes:
- The development and expansion of recovery communities and peer support networks for substance and alcohol misuse in Oldham,
- To increase the visibility of recovery from substance and alcohol misuse and support social integration networks, or
- Improved networks of social connections so that people facing social exclusion through substance and alcohol misuse have the opportunity to live healthy and fulfilling lives through involvement in a community that supports their recovery, encourages social integration, builds their abstinence and wellbeing and is led and organised by their peers and families
