Great Places donated £6,000 to Rochdale-based charity Become United through our Greater Together Foundation.
Become United is a charity, led by Black Minority Ethnic (BME) people. Their advisory team members have a broad range of skills, experience, and knowledge, which they have gained from working with the South Asian and BME communities across Greater Manchester for over 20 years.
The principal objective of Become United is to create a structurally safe place for all people. The organisation is committed to equality and has a focus on the inclusion and rights of people from different backgrounds and ethnicities.
The funding will allow Become United to run cost-of-living awareness sessions in multiple languages such as English, Bengali and Urdu along with printed infographics to reach our vulnerable and isolated customers.
Leanne Keanne, Community Partnership Manager at Great Places said:
We are really pleased that we have been able to fund Become United to deliver these cost-of-living Sessions. By being delivered in a wide range of areas both in person and online and being delivered in a number of languages we can reach a large number of people.
The resources are also available in different languages and aims to make people aware of the support that is available to them when facing financial hardship; ranging from maximising income to managing debt. All of this is part of our ongoing commitment in partnership work to create vibrant, sustainable communities.
