Micro grants from the One Oldham Fund, Oldham Council money run by Action Together, for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups improving the lives of children (including pre-birth), young people under 25 and their families in Oldham. Constituted groups can apply for up to £1,000 and informal social action or mutual aid groups for up to £200; this round particularly wants projects that reduce social isolation for young people.

  • For up to £200: groups without a constitution involved in informal social action or mutual aid in Oldham
  • One application per group this round; previous-round grantees can apply but groups not funded last time get priority

What it funds

Projects that aim to improve up to two of the following outcomes for children (including pre-birth), young people aged under 25 and their families:

  • Mental and physical health
  • Secure housing
  • Financial stability
  • Promoting recovery and reducing harm from substance use
  • Family relationships
  • Children safe from abuse and exploitation
  • Crime prevention and tackling crime
  • Safe from domestic abuse
  • Getting a good education
  • Good early years development

This round is particularly keen to fund projects that aim to reduce social isolation for young people. All costs of the activity can be funded, including utility and staffing costs. Projects may last up to one year.

What it will not fund

  • Profit making or fundraising activities
  • Expenses already incurred (retrospective costs)
