£75,000 grants to boost community spaces and groups

GRANTS up to and over £75,000 will give much-needed boosts to voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations across Oldham.

The money is available through the Community Regeneration Partnership Capital Grants Programme run by Oldham Council in partnership with Action Together.

It aims to invest in community spaces across the borough where people come together and which enable the lives of residents to be improved.
