Launched in August, OL1-Oldham's Grocery Store Project is a voucher scheme run in partnership with TBBT and the local Emerging Communities team, enabling people in severe need and food insecurity to access nutritious food supplies.

Supermarket giant Iceland has teamed up with TBBT to offer free school meals to families in need across Greater Manchester and Darlington.

As well as keeping power flowing across the region, key workers from Electricity North West are also working as volunteers to ensure people across Greater Manchester don’t go without food.

Oldham based social landlord, First Choice Homes (FCH) is investing over £80,000 to combat poverty among its customers on low incomes and bring a discounted food service to their local communities.
