Aims/priorities: 

Thanks to funding from Rochdale Borough Council Public Health team, Action Together is offering micro grants of up to £1,000 to help the VCFSE sector to support individuals, families and communities in the Rochdale Borough.

  • Support people and communities to get back on their feet and take more control over their lives – i.e. practical support, advice or peer support  
  • Reduce inequalities and help more people reach their potential  
  • Strengthen community voice and action on the things that matter most to them  

2. Promoting health and wellbeing   

  • Enabling people and communities to support their social, mental and physical wellbeing   
  • Challenging health inequalities through working with marginalised groups whose needs are not being met by existing services  
  • Build strong relationships in and across communities
