Phase 1

Aims/priorities: Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has again been allocated an amount of funding from Central Government to support the wellbeing of the local population during the winter months. An amount of this funding is being offered to the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector to provide real community based support for those in need.

Aims/priorities: Hate crime is defined as ‘any criminal offences perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility, prejudice, towards someone based on a personal characteristic’. In Greater Manchester hate crime is monitored across six strands: race, religion, sexual orientation, trans identity, disability and alternative subcultures. Hate crime is significantly under-reported.

Aims/priorities: Domestic abuse can negatively impact upon the health and wellbeing of those who are living with or have experienced domestic abuse and their children/families, and it can happen to anyone. It is important that we provide the best possible care and support to those who are affected. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council (TMBC) are committed to proactively working in partnership with local communities and organisations to create communities where people can easily access the information and support they need within their local community.

Aims/priorities:  There are currently two funding opportunities available:

Crisis Fund (Up to £500) - Groups can apply for up to £500 to help people in crisis access food and essentials (toiletries, household essentials). There must be an additional offer of longer term help e.g., a leaflet with where to go information, variety of formats.
