Community groups are once again able to bid for one of Oldham Council’s “Fast Grants”, grants of between £50 and £500 for groups looking to improve their local area. Run by Oldham Cares, the grants are quick to apply for and have been given out to over 70 community groups since September 2018.

Councillor Zahid Chauhan, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing said: “We’ve already had some really good success stories come from this funding and we want this to continue.

“These funds are available for the benefit of Oldham, so if you have an idea on how you could improve your area, we would love to hear from you. The application form will only take five minitues of your time to fill out, so what are you waiting for?”
