Aims / Priorities

Traditionally, the Mayor of Oldham will choose charities to support during the Mayoral Year, donating the funds raised at the end of the year between the nominated charities.

For this Mayoral Year from May 2023, the Worshipful the Mayor of Oldham Dr. Zahid Chauhan OBE FRCGP is taking a different approach. He truly wishes to make as big an impact as he can for as many people as he can, and so the theme for this Mayoral Year will be “Truly Wished”. Action Together are supporting the Mayor and the Mayoral Committee to make this happen.
