Consultation process
Consultation has been undertaken with the
Cabinet Member for Covid-19 recovery.
Separate consultation has taken place with the Chief Executive of
Citizen’s Advice Oldham (CAO) as a result of the proposal to
extend CAO’s funding for six months initially to allow time
for the Place Based customer and financial support offer to be
developed. A revised agreement will be developed with CAO once the
review of the customer and financial support offer is
completed.
Voluntary, community and faith groups listed at Appendix 1 will be
provided with confirmation of their grant allocations following
