How does it work?

CATS is a well established Tameside network that meets quarterly for two hours with a buffet lunch provided.

The meetings are formal but friendly which offers a great opportunity to build links to other groups and networks. We can also provide free transport for people to attend.

CATS links to local decision makers through its attendance at the Older People’s Partnership and the Tameside Strategic Partnership through the Tameside Voice – the ‘network of networks’.
