Events in Rochdale - Meetings

Life Story Workshop & Indian Head Massage

The Memory Wellbeing Cafes provide an opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to come together in a safe and welcoming environment where they can speak with each other, volunteers and professionals for support.

The cafes, which are based in the communities where they are most needed, have worked very well in other areas of the North West. They can help prevent feelings of loneliness and isolation by giving visitors the opportunity to speak to other people in similar situations as themselves.

Each cafe will have professionals from different organisations providing relevant information on a series of topics on a one-to-one or group basis. As well as this, activities, such as singing and dancing, will also be organised.

This session will continue on the first Tuesday of every month.

STORM (the local rail support group) meet on the first Tuesday of each month in the Newhey Lodge all welcome.

Reggae Reggae Sauce star Levi Roots will be coming to Rochdale in February to share his inspirational story and entrepreneurial skills with high street businesses across the borough.

Levi will be giving his top tips for business success during his keynote speech ‘You Can Get it If You Really Want’ at a high profile event to launch the Rochdale Borough High Street Foundation.

The Foundation will focus on creating new, sustainable high streets for Rochdale - and any business trading on a high street across the borough is invited to be a part of it.

This free event is taking place on Wednesday 15 February between 5.30pm and 8.30pm in the Great Hall at Rochdale Town Hall.

Other high profile speakers include Retail Champion Clare Rayner and Rochdale’s Paul Turner-Mitchell, who was recently named in leading fashion magazine Drapers’ top 100 power list for 2011.

Councillor Peter Williams, Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Economic Development at Rochdale Borough Council, said high streets up and down the country are realising that change is needed if they are to remain vibrant places where people want to go.

Levi’s success followed a 2007 appearance on popular BBC television show Dragons’ Den where he secured £50,000 investment for a return share of 20 per cent of his company. His Reggae Reggae sauce was sold in Sainsbury’s stores across the country becoming the chain’s fastest ever selling product.

Demand for spaces at the event is expected to be high so early booking is recommended. Businesses interested in taking part should email lucy.pinto@rochdale.gov.uk or call 01706 926641.
