Now more than ever before, Oldham's Action Together support network is in need of new volunteers.

As the Coronavirus crisis continues to affect the elderly and vulnerable in particular, Action Together is as busy as ever following this morning's news that the Council, Oldham Foodbank and Action Together are working together to coordinate the delivery of emergency food and other essential personal and household basic items to people in need.

Action Together was formed in April, 2016 and brings together two charities; Voluntary Action Oldham (VAO) and Community and Voluntary and Action Tameside (CVAT).

Action Together is a charitable incorporated organisation.

Across Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside, there are thousands of people changing lives, improving neighbourhoods and contributing positively to our local area. 

Action Together offers a range of support to strengthen communities. 

It believes that by learning together, sharing skills and pooling resources we can get more done. 

​It supports people to get help, providing opportunities to get better connected to what is going on in their local community and find the support they need.

It strengthens community and voluntary groups by providing support to run their group, find and secure resources and work together to do more.

Action Together encourages local people, businesses and the public sector to give their time, skills and resources to support local good causes.
