The funding is intended to support voluntary organisations in England and Wales who support people in prison, leaving prison, under license in the community, or serving a community sentence, to continue to work in the context of the COVID-19 crisis or to make adaptations for their long-term work that are necessary due to the effects of COVID-19.

Co-operative Engagement is Rochdale’s approach to collaborating with people, communities and the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector when a change is happening or we face a challenge.

At Action Together, we want to radically amplify the voice of local people and get them involved in changing the parts of the system that aren't working. And we know that the knowledge, skills and relationships of the VCFSE sector are the best route to facilitating meaningful engagement with people and communities.
