Rochdale
Aims/Priorities:
Rochdale Local Pilot is funded by Sport England and delivered by charitable trust and leisure provider, Your Trust. Data from the 2018 Active Lives Survey identified Rochdale as the most inactive borough in Greater Manchester. In response to this, over the past three years, the Local Pilot programme has been working to increase physical activity and ‘moving more’ within the borough, particularly among those who move the least.
Aims/priorities: An opportunity has arisen at Rochdale Borough Council within the Public Health Team for an individual, an organisation, or collaboration to develop a programme of training and development to enhance the behavioural science expertise of Rochdale council and partners.
We envisage a multi-phased approach to developing our behavioural science expertise.

For Rochdale borough, climate change means more periods of water shortages and more frequent and intense storms increasing flooding events. In March 2022, Rochdale Borough Council published its Climate Change Strategy and Delivery Plan. The plan identifies the urgent action needed to achieve environmental sustainability.
Action Together have secured some investment to curate an anti-racism programme for VCFSE sector across the Rochdale borough. This programme will include funded projects, a collaborative learning program, borough-wide campaigns/awareness raising, and events to increase connections between services.
