Environmental Eddie flew in to visit 21st Rochdale Brownies and 31st Rochdale Brownies for their Take Action theme activities. They have been learning how to make a positive difference at home and in their communities, while understanding how their actions affect the wider world. Their activities explored the impact of rubbish on the local area, animals and the planet.🌎

Our recycling session helped the Brownies work towards their Zero Waste badge and become environmental champions just like Eddie. ♻️

By the end of the session, everyone was “Waste Aware”, knowing what could be recycled or reused and what belonged in the rubbish. They then turned a water bottle into a bird feeder. 🐦

Residents across the borough will have the chance to pay their respects to those who have made sacrifices in defence of the country at services.

Veteran Ron Aikens chats through details of the Middleton service, which will be held as always at Middleton Memorial Gardens.

This year the accessible entrance to the gardens will not be available, due to private demolition work that is taking place adjacent to the gardens.

Arrangements are in place to ensure all residents will be able to pay their respects and have access to the service. A dedicated accessible area will available on the day, which will be clearly set out with volunteers on hand to assist and support.

We’re empowering young people with additional needs, like Luca, to have the confidence they need to travel independently to places like college and the local shops.

This comes as part of our independent travel training programme which is supporting young people to become more resilient in reaching their destinations single-handedly through one-to-one support.

If you would like more information on how you can get your child involved, please contact our SEND travel team: [email protected].
