RSMP Resettlement Grant Funding

Aims/priorities: The North West Regional Strategic Migration Partnership (RSMP) is seeking expressions of interest to deliver two newly funded projects; one to provide qualified immigration advice, and one to provide mental health and wellbeing support for Ukrainians, Hong Kongers and Afghans (CFA) in the North West of England.

The RSMP will be contracting for services to deliver support and will use Expressions of Interest (EOI) to understand what is possible to achieve with the project budget and stated timeframes.

VCSE Gambling Harms Prevention & Resilience Fund

Aims/Priorities: The Gambling harms prevention grant will be available to all voluntary community and social enterprise organisations working to help prevent gambling related harms. Organisations, funded by OHID, will be fundamental to the delivery of an independent and public health led approach to preventing gambling related harms for the first time. This is part of a wider prevention, treatment and research programme attached to the new levy on gambling operators and focuses on prevention work only (a separate grant is available for treatment or recovery).

Macmillan Care Grants Programme

Aims/priorities: The funding is for community-led projects that challenge the current system and create lasting change for people facing the greatest barriers to care. 

Projects should offer new insights and impact and focus on one of the following three themes:

Barclays Community Sport Fund 2025 to 2027

Aims/priorities: The funding supports community groups and grassroots sports organisations who are working within the most deprived areas of the UK and are making sport more accessible to women and girls, as well as engaging people from other under-represented groups, including people with disabilities, from racially diverse communities and from the LGBTQ+ community. 

Currently, only the Female Coaches for Girls Fund is open for applications, with a deadline of 31 December 2025.

Rochdale Social Value Learning Lab

The Rochdale Social Value Learning Lab supports social enterprises to strengthen their understanding of social value, and gain practical skills in capturing and communicating their wider impact. The programme includes action learning sets, giving participants space to exchange experiences, explore challenges together and identify workable solutions.

Facilitated by Turn Up the Value and led by Karen Smith, the initiative responds to a growing need for social economy organisations to clearly evidence the social and economic difference they make to their communities.

Karen shared  with us just how the programme has been going:

"It's been great to work with Action Together to deliver this training. The social enterprises who have participated have taken a lot from the sessions so far, not only learning from myself, but from each other."

This project is funded by UKSPF E26 Social Economy Programme, an initiative that supports individuals and organisations throughout Greater Manchester to design and develop their Social Economy offer, helping them to strengthen their capacity and increase their impact across communities.
