Aims/Priorities:
The Rochdale Recovery Micro Fund through Rochdale Borough Council is a fund to invest in and strengthen Rochdale Borough’s Recovery VCFSE sector. It funds groups and projects which directly benefit local people and communities, delivered by VCFSE organisations/individuals with roots in the borough.
The Rochdale Recovery Micro Fund can support groups/individuals to try out a new project or sustain one that already exists. Action Together provides members with development support, training and other infrastructure alongside grant funding.
The Rochdale Recovery Micro Fund is part of the Rochdale Recovery Community and is only available to small groups/individuals based in Rochdale who are associated with the Rochdale Recovery Communities Partnership and unconstituted.
This funding is designed to help make a positive impact in the recovery community.
The priorities for grant investment are:
- Creating a visible and positive recovery community
- To recognise the importance of early intervention for substance and alcohol use.
- To end stigma for people who use substances and alcohol
