Our CEO, Kathy Thomas and Operation's Manager, Jane Honeyford are at GM Police Headquarters participating in a briefing session for Operation Encompass. This initiative involves the Police notifying Schools the next morning if an incident of Domestic Abuse has occurred in the family home overnight where a chid is present. Schools can then arrange and ensure the most appropriate support is allocated.
RCT were at the forefront in ensuring the briefing has taken place in GM and look forward to supporting implementation in Rochdale.
A huge congratulations to the 15 mentors who have successfully passed the 2 days training in September 2018. They are an absolutely fantastic group - the room was buzzing! We can't wait to get you started - Holly & Debra 😁
As part of our Heritage Lottery Programme we have been working closely with Rooley Moor Neighbourhood Forum:

Some of our Haven ladies have been involved in the production of a short film about their experiences of Domestic Abuse which has been included as part of the Sandretto Exhibition that is being held at Touchstones Rochdale. The collection includes many pieces of art work that are of a feminist persuasion and it is wonderful that our ladies have been selected to share their thoughts and experiences.

​Rochdale Connections Trust were thrilled to be awarded £1,000 from former Mayor and Mayoress, Cllr Raymond Dutton and his wife Elaine from the funds raised by the Mayor of Rochdale’s Charity.

Rochdale Connections Trust provides a range of valuable support services, including work with vulnerable families living across the most deprived communities throughout the Borough. The funding will be used to allow the families we work with who are in greatest need to enjoy a fun day out during the school Summer holidays.  Gulliver’s World has been selected as the most popular option and the trip is scheduled to take place in mid-August.
