Tameside, Oldham and Glossop Mind offer fundraising fun for all

Mental health charity TOG Mind has launched a brand new fundraising package, with the hope that 100 businesses or community groups across Tameside, Oldham and Glossop will consider signing up to help make a difference within local communities.

The Funder 500 (#Funder500) is an opportunity to take on a fundraising activity and work with colleagues and friends to raise £500 for charity over one year.
