Tameside
This inaugural Tameside Befriending Week (TBW) will call for and give focus to activities and events which support the wellbeing of the local community and raise awareness of social isolation, vulnerability and loneliness in the community.

The funding is for capital type projects which relate to the repair, maintenance, improvement or construction of homes, community facilities and other buildings in deprived areas.
