Published date: 
Thursday, 2nd April 2020

At Action Together we recognise community action is taking place across the boroughs of Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside & Glossop, and we want to encourage and support this action. 

We are delighted to let you know that we are launching a Community Response Fund that is available for Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside & Glossop groups from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector working on a COVID-19 Community Response and meet either of these priorities:

Hilden Charitable Fund

Aims/priorities: Hilden provides funding to organisations which demonstrate charitable purposes and awards grants to projects both in the UK and in specific developing countries (Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda).

In the UK, most funding goes to registered charities. Overseas projects will either work with a UK charity or show relevant legal status.

United Utilities Trust Fund - Organisational Grant Programme

Aims/priorities: The object of the Trust is the relief of poverty, hardship or other distress by assisting people in need who are unable to meet the cost of water charges.

This is achieved by providing grants:

  • Directly to individuals (further information is available by calling 0300 7906172).
  • To organisations to fund money advice/financial literacy projects that encourage financial stability and promote competent money management.

Who can apply? To be eligible, organisations must be:

Jerwood Foundation

Aims/priorities: This fund aims to support organisations with a focus on making art available for public benefit and emerging talent in the arts throughout the UK.

Who can apply? Groups working to make art available for public benefit can apply.

Groups must provide a copy of their organisation's latest audited accounts (smaller charities should instead provide their annual budget with income and expenditure details).

Grant amount: Up to £2 million is awarded each year.

Poundland Foundation

Aims/priorities: The Foundation aims to transform communities and change lives across the UK by making grants to charities and grass-roots community organisations.

The current grant programme is Kits 4 Kids with grants available for local kids’ sports clubs/organisations or teams to buy new kit.

Who can apply? Grants are available for local charities, community interest companies and unregistered community organisations across the UK who are working with children and young people under the age of 18 years.

Barchester Healthcare Foundation

Aims/priorities:

The Foundation aims to make a difference to the lives of older people and other adults with a physical, learning or mental disability; supporting practical solutions that lead to increased personal independence, self-sufficiency and dignity.

The aim of this fund is on connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community. Applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged will receive highest priority.
