Click here to join our mailing list and stay up to date with what’s happening locally to make a Real Change to homelessness in Oldham.

How you can help make a Real Change.

Real Change is a partnership between everyone who wants to end homelessness in Oldham. That’s because we know we’ll struggle to do it alone, but together we can make a difference. If like us you believe that no one should be homeless or beg on our streets, then come and get involved.

Whether you’re interested in getting involved personally, on behalf of your community group, workplace or college, or as a business, there are many ways you can help. Get in touch by emailing info@realchangeoldham.co.uk with any inquiries.

As well as donating directly to the fund, you might want to:

Take part in a fundraising event

Sign up to a sponsored run, walk or anything you like and raise money for people in your area who are homeless. Or why not organise one yourself and involve your colleagues, friends or neighbours?

Check out Just Giving’s Fundraising Toolkit too, including Top 10 Tips and ideas for promoting your page.

Share your skills or Knowledge

What are you good at? What do you know lots about? How do you think a campaign like ours could benefit from that? There are no bad ideas and we’d love to hear yours!

Every bit helps, so if you want to help people in your area who are homeless, please get in touch or sign up to our mailing list so we can keep you up to date.

Invite us to speak at an event

If you’d like to find out more about what it’s like being homeless in Oldham and what makes a Real Change to the lives of people who are, we’d be delighted to come and talk to you about the campaign.

Our Action Group includes people with lived experience of homelessness as well as charities working directly with people who are homeless.

Let us know about your event and we’ll see who can make it - whether it’s a weekly meeting at your church, a concert or performance, a conference your business is putting on or your sports team’s AGM.

Help organise the campaign

There are lots of roles that need doing to keep the campaign going, including:

Finding and securing public space where we can display key messages
Sharing stories on social media
Evaluating the impact of grants on people who are homeless
Become an ‘ambassador’ within your network or community

If you want to pitch in and help make Real Change happen, contact us at info@realchangeoldham.co.uk and come along to the next meeting of the coordinating ‘Action Group’.
