Action Together For stronger communities. Action Together is the infrastructure organisation for the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector in Oldham, Rochdale, and Tameside.

We are still here supporting our clients and others where possible in these unprecedented times but there are also many charities in Tameside helping out also

If you or someone you know needs help to get care or essential supplies like food:
You or they should register to get help - you don’t need to have been contacted by the NHS. If you’re not sure if you’re extremely vulnerable, register anyway.

Volunteers all over the world are taking the elderly on rickshaw rides out in nature Cycling Without Age lets the elderly enjoy bike rides and provides them with companionship, fresh air and new memories.

Here at Local Community we can definitely testify to the positive results this research advocates. We like to get as many of our support users out into their local parks as much as possible and can definitely testify to the uplifting and restorative benefits on both physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Spending 20 minutes in a park each day can officially make you happier The perfect excuse to head outdoors

A few weeks ago we spent our Bank Holiday Monday putting the smiles on some of our lovely clients faces with our new member of Local Community Support 'Bo' the amazing Cockerpoo who is absolutely adorable and our client's thought so too. Such a powerful and uplifting experience for all concerned seeing the smiles on the faces of those we took her to see.

There is an abundance of research about the benefits of Pet Therapy and our experience with Bo definitely backed it all up! So much unconditional love flowing through her for all those she came into contact with that day!

Watch this space, we are hoping to work with Bo a lot more in the future when possible, so she can bring more sunshine and smiles to those who for whatever reason experience loneliness and isolation.

Thank you to Bo's lovely mum and dad for letting her join us for the day! As you can see from the photo's for one of our clients taking her for a walk was just what he needed, both Bo and client were suitably worn out afterwards and welcomed a much-needed lie down afterwards.

(Client's have very kindly agreed to their pictures going on our FB page, thank you to them too!)

Anything has got to be worth a try!

I'm sure it's not just the memory it improves!

Ten minutes of exercise a day improves memory Researchers have shown that the brain’s ability to store memories improves after a short burst of exercise

Wouldn't it be great if they did! Knowing the amazing benefits that singing and music can bring to those with Alzheimers/Dementia think it would be welcomed by many
