Tameside Council have 30+ testing booths which were previously used at Tameside COVID testing sites. They have been cleaned down and have not been used since July 2021, so there will be no risk of COVID from the booths. The Council want to donate the booths to groups to recycle/re-use.

As we all know Tameside, Oldham and Rochdale have many voluntary and charitable organisations which do amazing work within their communities.

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK.
