Rochdale's Community Led Consortium.
An Alliance of the Willing - is our chosen motto for Phase Two where we welcome new members and collaborations across the Rochdale Borough in 2026!
We’re looking for new members to join the Consortium and would love to start conversations with local charities and community organisations who might be interested in getting involved.
The Consortium is a collective of eight vibrant community organisations across Rochdale, working together to drive system change, support grassroots organisations by sharing best practice and setting standards in areas like impact measurement, and uplift one another through collaborative projects.
We’d love to have a chat with you to hear about your organisation and your work, share more about the Consortium, and explore whether membership might be something you're interested in.
We're small but packing some mighty impact stats within our first 12 months!
We are delighted to share some key points of development with you all...
We had a great time on the podcast style online discussion - once the recording is available we will link it here!
Here's a snapshot of where the journey to create something new, really began to take shape in 2024:

We have been formed from a collection of eight vibrant and dedicated community hubs, working towards our vision...
"To make a lasting difference by supportive collaboration; we're sharing learning and resources to have a wider reach and impact, and give a stronger voice to the communities we serve across Rochdale."
Together, we are there to help build sector resilience, creative collaborations and new ways pathways to share knowledge, capacity and scope.
Our growing collective serves the diverse communities of the Rochdale borough, currently working across the townships of Middleton, Rochdale South and Rochdale North.

We are in our first year together and have lots of exciting pilot ventures underway, especially around strategic breadth which is anchored by place-based lived-experience, to enrich shared-knowledge and reciprocal learning.
On an operational level we've been working hard to collate members current impact, to better understand areas of strength, experience and expertise. With the new collaborative database being rolled out this coming September 2025, this deeper understanding of our work will refine and inform future community development. We're also busy developing our infrastructure to nurture potential joint projects, system change events, and implementing shared service delivery and volunteer sharing. |
