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 approval of the report.
