Capacity Building: Advice and support for groups and organisations from Action Together
At Action Together we know that people can make things happen because we see it everyday. Across Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside, there are thousands of people changing lives, improving neighbourhoods and contributing positively to our local area. Action Together offers a range of support to strengthen communities. We believe that by learning together, sharing skills and pooling resources we can get more done.
- We support people to get help, providing opportunities to get better connected to what is going on in their local community and find the support they need.
- We strengthen community and voluntary groups by providing support to run their group, find and secure resources and work together to do more.
- We encourage local people, businesses and the public sector to give their time, skills and resources to support local good causes.

Organisation Health Checks
Our online Organisation Health Checks are designed to support groups and organisations to reflect, and review how their organisation is performing. They are a practical, development tool which allows you, along with help from one of our experienced Community Development Workers, to identify strengths, as well as areas for development. The Health Check can be completed in stages, and can also be revisited over a period, to track progress and development.
To complete a Health Check for your group or organisation, please get in touch with us at: development@actiontogether.org.uk or phone: 0161 339 2345
