People have the power to change the places they live and the things they care about.
At Action together we know that people can make things happen because we see it everyday. Across Oldham and Tameside right now, there are thousands of people changing lives, improving neighbourhoods and contributing positively to our region.
At Action together we're here to help those people. We believe that by learning together, sharing skills and pooling resources we can get more done.
We support, advise and help individual volunteers, groups and organisations.
We help turn good intentions into positive actions. From that first spark of an idea, we're here to help you turn it into a reality.
We build relationships. We make connections. We create opportunities.
Setting up a group or organisation is never plain sailing. Keeping it running year on year can be a constant battle. But you are not alone. Action together has the knowledge, experience, insight and influence to help. We're not afraid to have the tough and honest conversations that will lead to a better solution.
