NHS Engagement Grant - Tameside

Aims/Priorities: The programme aims to identify and fund local organisations in Tameside to gather feedback from the people they support about NHS services in the area. The goal is to understand experiences and barriers, so health services can improve and reduce health inequalities. Although the scope for this funding is broad, groups may wish to explore themes related to experiences of urgent care or prevention.

The grant will have a specific focus on the following groups, while also being inclusive of other demographic and populations:

Four Nations International Fund

Who can apply? Applications will be accepted from creative sector organisations and individuals based in one of the four nations of the UK.

Naturesave Trust 2026

Windrush Day Grant Scheme 2026

Aims/Priorities: The Windrush Day Grant Scheme is part of the Government's work to create more resilient communities, where different religions, cultures and opinions are celebrated, underpinned by a shared set of values that champion tolerance, freedom and equality of opportunity.

Communities Addressing Gambling Harms Programme

Aims/Priorities: This is a new phase of Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s Communities Against Gambling Harms programme, to support community action to reduce gambling harm and to help more VCSE organisations start conversations with people at risk of gambling related harm.

By targeting organisations not traditionally focused on gambling harm but those working to address inequalities, we hope to build on existing community assets, staff networks and community groups to develop a community-led movement to address gambling harms in Greater Manchester.

Abby won a fantastic £250 through supporting Oldham Community Lottery Central Fund, and shared a few words about her win!

Where did you hear about the Oldham Community Lottery?
Through my employer Action Together.

Why did you choose to support Spark Oldham?
I see everyday the different that is being made in Tameside, Oldham and Rochdale and I saw it as a great opportunity to support the work, through a trusted source all whilst being in a draw to win prizes.

What was your reaction once you had found out you had won £250?
What a way to start 2026 mixed with shock. It was a great surprise to open that email!

What will you spend your winnings on?
I’m unsure yet, either towards a holiday in the Summer or take the sensible route and put it towards my college fees.

What would you say to someone to encourage them to play the Oldham Community Lottery?
If you have the money to spare, I would encourage it. The signup process was slick, the updates aren’t overbearing and you have a chance to win great prizes. I’ve been playing the national lottery for years and I’ve only ever won a few lucky dips – Since playing the Oldham Community Lottery for just over a year, I’ve had a couple of wins, so it seems you have a great chance to win whilst supporting great local work.
