About the host organisation

Hosted by: Rochdale Connections Trust
Organisation Profile: Rochdale Connections Trust is a community based Charity, working in Rochdale, Heywood and Middleton. Over the last 25 years our mission has been to help vulnerable young people and families from the Rochdale Borough who are in greatest need. During this time we have provided a package of support to thousands of young people, often in crisis, through access to our mentoring programme. More information on our programmes can be found on our brand new website: www.r-c-t.co.uk With a range of additional programmes for families we have been instrumental in keeping families together and helping to move them forward. We are reliant on the generosity of local people who support us by making a donation that allows this vital work to continue across Rochdale. We could really use your help in the form of a donation now. It really does make a difference in helping those families and young people to turn their lives around. All donations, no matter what size, make a real and lasting difference to the work that we undertake. Do something amazing and help a local Charity to continue their much needed work today.
