Massive thanks to members of St George's Church, Stalybridge who held a sponsored dog walk during the 50 days of Eastertide in aid of the church and TOG Mind. Members and their dogs walked over 2000 miles between them and raised £1,250 for Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind. Also a very special thank you to John (front and centre) who added an extra £50 to make it a grand total of £1,300.
We are always hugely appreciative of community fundraising and it helps the charity massively.

Recently the government have made announcements relating to measures and restrictions changing un the UK from the 19th July, with further changes planned for the 16th August.
Within the charity we have discussed these changes, along with the current Delta variant in Greater Manchester and want to continue to ensure our staff, volunteers and everyone locally visiting us, can remain as safe as possible always.
We have decided in the short term to retain existing measures that our staff, volunteers and the public have become accustomed to, at least for a little while longer.
We hope that this continues to provide safety and reassurance not only to all our staff teams, but to those we are here to support.
Social distancing, mask wearing where appropriate, hand washing and track and trace will remain in place in the short term.
Thank you for your understanding and please contact us if you have any questions.

In 2019 we were amazingly successful with an application for a grant from the Department of Health and Social Care. This application was backed by Oldham CCG and they committed to supporting us with additional financial investment over a 3 year period.
We are now in year 3 of this grant that has funded us to develop what is now our Take 5 Children, Young People and Families Hub in the centre of Oldham. As part of developing this brand new innovative hub, we committed to having the concept and delivery independently evaluated and commissioned Manchester Metropolitan University to complete this work for us.
We want to say a massive thank you to all involved! From engaging in interviews, completing surveys, promoting surveys to CYP and families, providing service information to the MMU research team and of course providing valuable and beneficial services to our community. Staff and volunteers have all achieved this whilst managing ever changing working locations/building moves and completely adapting delivery to navigate a global pandemic... every aspect of their commitment and dedication is appreciated.
In the next phase of our Take 5 Hub, we will be working with young people and families to co-design the space to ensure a warm and welcoming environment for all. Please get in touch on 0161 330 9223 if you would like to support this work in Oldham.
