Rochdale Communities Fund

Rochdale Communities Fund

The Rochdale Communities Fund is a mutual fund to invest in and strengthen Rochdale Borough’s VCFSE sector. It funds groups and projects which directly benefit local people and communities, delivered by VCFSE organisations with roots in the borough.  

Action Together doesn’t just provide funding to our members, we can also support you to develop your project idea, develop or grow your organisation, recruit volunteers, find other funding opportunities, training, demonstrate the difference you make, and more.  

To discuss how we can support you please get in touch at development@actiontogether.org.uk 

All grant decisions over £1000 are made by a community panel, which score the applications and may request additional information about your project. We welcome new members on the panel, please contact hayley.tomlinson@actiontogether.org.uk to find out more.
