MHCLG Community Champions Programme - Oldham

Background

In January this year, Oldham Council was awarded funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) Community Champions programme.

MHCLG’s stated purpose of the funding is to “support people shown to be most at risk from Coronavirus (COVID-19) including those from an ethnic minority background, disabled people and others to follow safer behaviours and reduce the impact of the virus on themselves and those around them.”

Aims/priorities:Satellite clubs provide opportunities for 14-19 year olds to take part regularly in physical activity and sport through the creation of enjoyable, convenient club opportunities that are designed around their needs and provide a positive experience of being active. 

Oldham Council is calling on the public to have their say on the exciting redevelopment of the Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre.

Aims/priorities: Grants are available for local community groups, charities, voluntary groups and social enterprises in the UK for projects that have a positive impact on communities, people, or the environment.

Every three months, £10,000 will be divided between five shortlisted projects that have a positive impact on communities, people, or the environment.
