🗣️ Let’s build a stronger, kinder, and safer together! 🤝

We believe that the best communities are built when we all work together!

That’s why we would love to host a ROC Conversation in your community, and we would absolutely love for you to be a part of it.

What is a ROC Conversation?

It’s a positive, interactive event that brings together local residents, charities, faith groups, and key services (like the Police, Fire Service, and local council).

Instead of just focusing on the problems, we take time to:✨

Celebrate the amazing things already happening in our area💬

Share ideas on how we can better support one another🛠️

Collaborate to find practical, grassroots solutions to local challenges

Whether you have a great idea to improve the neighbourhood, want to get involved in local volunteering, or just want to connect with your neighbours, your voice matters!

The New High Sheriff Mark Llewellin’s visit to The FUSE.

Mark chatted with the ROC Team about his working class background, his interest in the arts and theatre, and how he will expect to do over 400 appointments in his year of office, he’s already done 79 visits since April.

He was very impressed with our HQ and our work. 😊

Thank you so much Mark for your visit 👍

his morning as High Sheriff I visited the FUSE in Partington. It is a multi-purpose venue used for all kinds of activities and training. Great to meet my DL colleague Debra Green and hear her story.

Supporting men & boys is key to creating safer communities.

It was fantastic to see this brought to life through powerful conversations at yesterday’s @GaspedOfficial event.

Richard Spencer from Ch 5’s ‘My Wife, My Abuser’ was there, helping shine a light on the unseen issues.

As a charity Redeeming Our Communities has been taking university students over this last year to work on placements within our mental health crisis hubs in Wythenshawe. It’s been a great initiative and students have really valued the work experience. We hope that this new scheme works across GM. https://t.co/KjsBBAiVQ7

Happy #Pentecost Sunday. On the Day of Pentecost, the ascended Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit on His followers as He had promised, transforming them to begin their global mission.

Some of the ACT Street Angels met with the Chief Constable of Lancashire last night along with other Street Angel and Street Pastor groups from across Lancashire.

ROC Northern Ireland launch new project at Stormont…

The DI&CE (Disability Inclusion & Community Engagement) Project is a new collaborative programme delivered by Orchardville and ROC Northern Ireland. The two year project funded by PEACEPLUS Changemakers will work with community organisations and people with disabilities to educate and raise awareness about diversity in Northern Ireland.

ROC will be delivering 8 workshops with Orchardville staff and participants - equipping community groups, churches and faith based groups in how to be more inclusive of those with learning disabilities, autism and neurodivergent conditions.

We’re looking forward to working with Orchardville over the next two years, bringing our experience and expertise in community engagement as together we seek to empower and equip groups with the tools and better understanding of how to include those with learning disabilities into community initiatives and programmes.
