Friday, 22nd March 2024

Aims / Priorities:

The One Oldham Fund is a strategic single investment fund that uses pooled resources for the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Oldham.

This investment, which forms part of a larger investment made by the Department for Transport to Transport for Greater Manchester (on behalf of GMCA) will support the sector’s resilience to enable VCFSE organisations that are locally rooted and active in Oldham to support the Active Travel Programme in Oldham.

The Fore
