🌟 Help us reach Rochdale families! 🌟

We’re working with Rochdale Public Health on an exciting project to improve access to inclusive physical activity for children and young people aged 0–25 with SEND and/or SEMH needs.

This project is built on lived experience, professional insight, and family voice — and we need your help to make sure it reaches the people who know these challenges best.

💬 We’re currently in Phase 1 – Consultation, and we’re gathering insight from parents and carers to help shape better, more inclusive opportunities across Rochdale.

👉 How you can help:
✅ Share our survey link with families you know – through WhatsApp, newsletters, or social media.
✅ Encourage parents and carers of children or young people aged 0–25 with SEND/SEMH to take part.
✅ Help spread the word so every family’s voice is heard.

The survey is quick, accessible, and emotionally safe — and every response will directly influence how opportunities are designed and delivered in the future.

🔗 Take part here: https://forms.office.com/r/QE5Vhdm1YZ

Together, we can make physical activity in Rochdale more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible for everyone. 💪

If you’d like to know more, get involved, or share ideas — we’d love to hear from you!
Let’s make sure every young person has the chance to move, play and belong. 🧩✨

Thank You to Our Trustees – Trustee Week 2025

This week is Trustee Week, and we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Board of Trustees.

Our trustees give their time, experience and guidance voluntarily to help ensure that our organisation is well-run, forward-thinking and always acting in the best interests of our community. Their commitment often takes place behind the scenes, but the impact is felt in everything we do.

To each of our trustees – thank you for your dedication, your support, your expertise and your belief in our work. We are incredibly grateful for the time you give and the responsibility you carry.

Your leadership and oversight help us to grow, stay accountable, and continue providing the best possible support to those who rely on us.

We simply couldn’t do what we do without you.

Thank you,
From everyone at Rochdale Gateway
