Let’s Talk About Our Kids: A Conversation Full of Hope

Since the launch of Rochdale For Generations to Come in May 2025, Our Future has been listening and engaging with people and organisations borough wide to understand the incredible work already happening, as well as the big ambitions that could shape its future. One way to engage is through the Let’s Talk series, which brings a mix of people together from different sectors around the themes that communities have shared are important to them, from health and homes to spaces, jobs and much more.

The third Let’s Talk about our Kids conversation was held at the Kashmir Youth Project (KYP). It brought together a cross-section of people from the borough, giving a mix of perspectives and ideas on how to support our children and young people.

Khadija Tilly, (KYP), captured the conversation perfectly: “Today was good because of the energy and ideas in the room. The enthusiasm and passion are what make it work. We’ve got the expertise here. Now it’s about how we come together, listen to each other, and support one another.
