Jobs in the local voluntary and community sector!

What does your group/organisation do?
Tell us so that local
decision makers know that you matter
The first ever Tameside Survey of Third Sector Groups and
Organisations has recently been sent out across Tameside. This unique,
important survey is vital for as many groups and organisations as
possible to take part in. It is
your chance to have a say on things
that matter. Decision makers in Tameside will be taking notice of the
results and will use the information it provides in policy decisions.
However this research can only be effectively used to drive
improvements in Tameside and your area if the response to this survey
is significant.
So please take some time to respond before the deadline of June 5.
Your information is vital - please take just 10 minutes to fill in our
survey online at
http://tr.im/jAPX
or contact T3SC for a paper copy. See
the
survey page for more
information about the survey.
Massive recognition
for St Peter’s local heroes
Karen Butigan, Chief Executive of St Peter’s
Partnerships was absolutely delighted, and pleasantly surprised, to discover
that not one, but both of her nominations for the Development Trust
Association’s (DTA) Local Government Community Hero Awards, had been
successful!
She said: 'St Peter’s Ward Councillor, Jack Davis
and Tameside Council employee Russell Yates have both been so helpful and
important to the development of our organisation. I strongly felt they
deserved to be nominated in the Awards which sought out those unsung heroes
that really do make a difference. I am sure that their colleagues in the
Council, at St Peter’s Partnerships and in the local community will all join
me in congratulating them for this valuable and well deserved
recognition.'
The awards will be made at an evening reception to be held at the DTA’s
national policy symposium, Stepping up: Strategies for resilient communities
in a time of economic downturn to be held in London in May.

Minibus donated to St Peter's community groups
Audenshaw based Mono® NOV has
donated a minibus to St Peter’s Partnerships, a charity which runs a range of
community-based projects and businesses in the local area.
The nine-seater minibus will be used by St Peter’s Partnerships to transport
children, young people and other community groups to and from venues and events in
and around Ashton-under-Lyne.
St. Peter’s Partnerships provides support and services to the local community
of the St. Peter’s ward of Ashton-under-Lyne. Its aim is to bring people
together to promote a range of community initiatives that have been developed
to help tackle some of the underlying and long term difficulties of the
regeneration area.
And YOU can benefit too!
From 1 May, the minibus will be available for use by
other local community groups for a small donation towards its upkeep.
