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.
Through Action Together on behalf of Oldham Borough Council, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) makes funding available annually to support projects across the Oldham Borough that promote awareness of hate crime and how to report it.
What can the funding be used for?
Hate crime awareness raising activities or events in Oldham during the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Week taking place Monday 5th to Sunday 11th February 2024 that can help become the catalyst for further conversations.
Applications will be considered for events and activities held later than this where reasonable justification is provided as long as they are launched during Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness week 2024 and will be delivered by no later than 31 March 2024.
Organisations should also be:
- Helping to change/challenge the behaviours, narratives and perceptions of Hate Crime; and
- Highlighting the support of third-party reporting centres and encouraging more victims to report hate crimes to either the Police or third-party reporting centres across the Borough.
Who is the funding for?

- a voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) group locally rooted or actively working in the borough of Oldham; and
