Support Team
The support team provides administration for the executive and the steering group, and supports the overall business management of the Oldham Partnership. It coordinates activity around commissioning the area based grant, research, performance management, marketing and communications for partner organisations in Oldham. Whilst the support team is independent and represents all partners within the Oldham Partnership, it is hosted by Oldham Council.
