We were delighted to award £85,877 of funding to support a further 36 grassroots community groups based across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. The Together Energy Fund has been established to provide funding to support community centres and community hubs across Greater Manchester to help them to be resilient in the face of rising energy costs. In this last round of the Together Energy Fund, (application deadline Friday 21st September 2023), awards of up to £2,500 were available for community centres and community hubs based in any of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester.

The ability of local community groups and organisations to best help people in their community remains dependant on maintaining support for them. If, like Together, you own or work for a company based in Greater Manchester, the chances are that 90% of your colleagues live in Greater Manchester and are part of the very communities we support.
