‘Give us your vote’ plea as theatre chases £27,000 fund

Oldham Coliseum

Oldham Coliseum is in the running to win £27,000 to help unemployed young people.

But the theatre need a strong public vote to put it in a winning position — and voting closes at noon on Friday.

The Coliseum’s Teaching Theatre offers opportunities for young people currently not in education, employment or training to become actively involved in the Coliseum’s operations.

NatWest’s Skills & Opportunities Fund is committing £2.5m to fund projects across the UK, and the Coliseum is keen to grab some f the money.

The winners are selected via public vote at www.skillsandopportunitiesfund.rbs.com/vote/vote-in-the-north.html
