Action Together hosts a range of networks to support connection and collaboration across voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations in Rochdale.
Anti Poverty Network
Our Rochdale Anti-Poverty Network is a space for all those interested in addressing the root causes of poverty and inequalities, and improving lives for the people of Rochdale.
Poverty cuts across every aspect of peoples’ lives, and affects all of our communities differently. Our aim for this Network is to represent different experiences and perspectives, to create a movement of people working to understand poverty in our borough, and influence change.

Emotional Health and Wellbeing Forum
The Emotional Health and Wellbeing Forum is a space held for like minded organisations interested in supporting and improving access to mental health and wellbeing pathways.

Neighbourhood Networks
Delivered in partnership with Public Health, our Action Together Neighbourhood Networks are a space in each township, bringing together public sector, VCFSE sector and community leaders to connect, build relationships and take action on shared local challenges.
Refugee and Asylum Seeker Multi-Agency Forum
In Rochdale we have a wealth of amazing groups who offer support to refugees and people seeking asylum, this Forum brings together organisations and services who support asylum seekers and refugees across Rochdale.
It is a space for these groups to begin a conversation about how we can do more together and support each other, along with the opportunity to listen and learn from each other.
