Let’s Talk About Our Health: A Night of Connection and Resilience

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.

Our first Let’s Talk About Our Health session took place at Rochdale AFC Community Trust on Thursday 4th December. Residents, charity founders, community leaders, sports professionals and health workers came together for an evening of honest conversation about what health and wellbeing really means for communities across Rochdale. Even a power cut couldn’t dim the warmth, passion and care in the room.
