Rochdale Volunteer Manager Meet-Up - 21 May 2026

Who is this event for?

This event is for anyone who manages or deals with volunteers in Rochdale; you do not have to hold the title of Volunteer Manager or Volunteer Coordinator. If you want to meet other people who work with volunteers, grow your network, or get support from the Action Together Volunteer Team then we welcome you to join us!

This event is only for members of Action Together. We are a member based organisation that supports community action in Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside. Membership is free and open to VCFSE organisations working in Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside boroughs. If you aren't yet a member, complete the online membership form before registering.

Your hosts

Rochdale Volunteer Manager Meet-Ups are co-hosted by Action Together Volunteer Team and one of our local members. This meet-up will be co-hosted by the Carers’ Hub Rochdale. 

The Carers’ Hub Rochdale provides a single point of access for both young and adult carers who provide care to a family member, friend or neighbour living in Rochdale. The Hub ensures that carers of all ages have access to information, advice and a wide range of support services across the borough and nationally. These support services are designed to help carers continue in their caring role for as long as they choose and to reduce the impact the caring role can have on a carer’s own health and wellbeing.
