Strong partnerships with our health system, the VCSE sector and Greater Manchester Integrated Care are central to ensuring these benefits are felt by residents who need them most.
Tameside is proud of its heritage and its diverse communities. Each of our nine towns has its own identity and strengths. Our cultural assets, community spirit and unique places create the conditions for people to live fulfilling lives, supported by services that understand them and put their wellbeing first.
