Rochdale and District Mind

Who we are

We are Rochdale and District Mind A local charity and membership organisation. We provide a range of services to support people with mental health and wellbeing issues. Our services are designed by people with lived experience for service users. We are focused on wellbeing and recovery, and supporting people to lead fulfilling lives.

We are not the same as National Mind but we are affiliated to them. This means that we work with Mind nationally but we are independent. We raise our own funds and provide the support that is needed locally in the Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale area.

We do this by offering a wide range of information, support and services which are co-designed in response to local needs. In addition we support local strategic developments that support the wellbeing of people who live and work in the area.

Our culture and values

We provide information and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health issue to improve and maintain their wellbeing. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. We promote and protect good mental health and wellbeing for everyone in Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale, Bury and N.E. Lancashire. We will not give up until everyone experiencing a mental health issue gets both support and respect.

Our Values

Our values reflect those of Mind nationally and inform all aspects of our work and support:

Open: We reach out to anyone who needs us

Together: We’re stronger in partnerships

Responsive: We listen, we act

Independent: We speak out fearlessly
