Rochdale

Aims/priorities:

Thanks to funding from Rochdale Borough Council Public Health team, Action Together is offering investment to help the VCFSE groups provide emergency and immediate food offers, as well as investing in supporting the longer-term sustainability of our borough’s food providers. 

As there are limited funds, we will be prioritising applications who are already part of our Food Solution Network or can show how they will work collaboratively with this Network going forward.

Aims/Priorities:

Thanks to funding from Rochdale Borough Council Public Health, Action Together is offering grants of up to £500 to help support individuals, families and communities currently experiencing hardship as a result of cost of living increases by providing Winter Warmer Packs.

Aims/Priorities: 

Rochdale Local Pilot is funded by Sport England and delivered by charitable trust and leisure provider, Your Trust. Data from the 2018 Active Lives Survey identified Rochdale as the most inactive borough in Greater Manchester. In response to this, over the past three years, the Local Pilot programme has been working to increase physical activity and ‘moving more’ within the borough, particularly among those who move the least. 

Aims/priorities:

Groups who are based in the Rochdale Borough can apply for up to £2,000 for specific food only projects that will support food security during the winter months. All projects must be in addition to any support you are currently offering. Some examples include:

In July 2019, Rochdale Borough Council declared a Climate Emergency. Climate change affects weather and can cause severe weather events. For Rochdale borough, climate change means more periods of water shortages and more frequent and intense storms increasing flooding events. In March 2022, Rochdale Borough Council published its Climate Change Strategy and Delivery Plan. The plan identifies the urgent action needed to achieve environmental sustainability.

Action Together have secured some investment to curate an anti-racism programme for VCFSE sector across the Rochdale borough.  This programme will include funded projects, a collaborative learning program, borough-wide campaigns/awareness raising, and events to increase connections between services.

As part of this programme, we aim to fund 5 organisations £10,000 each to deliver projects that support the Emotional Health & Wellbeing of Communities Effected by Racial Inequality.  We expect these projects to run from January 2023 – June 2023.

Aims/priorities: Rochdale Borough Council have received Section 31 grant funding for additional investment in substance misuse treatment. Part of this includes funding to support the development and expansion of recovery community and peer support networks to increase the visibility of recovery and support social integration.

Applications should meet at least one of the following priorities:
