Aims/Priorities: The Tameside Communities fund will support the wider system priorities by tackling the health, social and economic inequalities that exist across Tameside, and invest in locally rooted, community led prevention to reach those most marginalised and vulnerable across communities.
The Tameside’s Locality plan: Building Back Fairer, Stronger, Together, sets out the ambition to improving the health of Tameside residents and prioritises the following themes:
- Best Start In Life
- Opportunity to Learn & Earn
- Safe, Green and Supportive Communities
- Healthy & Active Lives
What do we mean by Health, Social and Economic Inequalities?
Too many people across our communities in Tameside face barriers that make it harder to Live Well, for example: being short of money; what’s available in their local area; ethnicity or disability. Inequalities are avoidable and we believe communities have the knowledge, skills and assets which mean they are well placed to identify and understand what is needed to resolve challenges they face and help to achieve better outcomes for local people.
Who can apply?
