Current Project
Rochdale Essentials & Support is a 10-month project by Igniting Possibilities Initiative supporting people in Rochdale with practical help during difficult times. The project offers food and essentials parcels, support and advice, benefits and housing signposting, debt and money referrals, help with forms and online services, and CV and job search support. Free snacks and transport are also available to make support easier to access. The aim is to give residents clear, practical help that improves wellbeing, reduces pressure, and supports long-term independence.
