Objectives

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. 

  • People like the parents helping out at school, coaches teaching sport to kids or leaders at scouts and guides. 
  • People who are campaigning to save an historic building, improve their local park or preserve a wildlife habitat.
  • People like the cancer survivor who starts a support group, the parents of disabled children who meet up to share experiences or the churchgoers who decide to set up a food bank.   

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.

Do you have something to give? 

  • Do you want to build something for future generations?
  • Do you want to live in a place you can be proud of?
  • Do you want to help those without a voice speak louder?
