Community

As one of the largest businesses in Tameside, we have a responsibility to assist our local community where we can. Our learning and development activities support community involvement, with those undertaking these initiatives benefiting from increased confidence, a sense of well-being and a greater understanding of diversity in all its forms.

Community Engagement

Centred around our four key areas of: enterprise, employability, the elderly and the arts, we continue to support charity and community groups within the Greater Manchester area. We aim to offer our support in various ways, including monetary funding and Assets Based Community Development, focusing on the strengths and assets within our community. If you are looking for support, please get in touch using the contact us form below.
