Liz Windsor-Welsh
Chief Executive Action

I
am writing to convey my most sincere thanks for the work
that you and your group or organisation has been doing to support
the people of Oldham during the Coronavirus crisis. It is such a
worrying and critical time for so many and the work and
volunteering that you and your team have been doing has made a
huge difference to people in Oldham.
There has
been an unbelievable response from the 1200 voluntary, community
and social enterprises in the borough and lots of good
neighbour and mutual aid groups setting up and working tirelessly to
help those that need it.
We know
that things will be different now for our communities and
for the way we work and volunteer alongside them, but we know
that the new relationships, overwhelming kindness and generosity
will last well beyond the Coronavirus crisis.
I
wanted you to know that the Action Together Oldham Team are here to
help you in any way they can please don’t hesitate to call us
on
0161 339 2345.
Finally, but
most importantly I wanted to thank you again for your amazing
contribution and we look forward to continuing working
with you in the borough over the years to come.
Yours sincerely,
Liz
Windsor-Welsh, Chief Executive
