In 2023, Jenny Kennedy was crowned the Woman of Rochdale for her track record of helping vulnerable people, such as those who are in socially vulnerable positions and struggling in times of hardship. By participating in fundraising, she has gained overwhelming support enabling her to raise thousands of pounds for charities, whilst also supporting individuals, families, and groups and providing emergency support for families and individuals in need.

The Woman of Rochdale Luncheon will return on Friday 26 April 2024 at Rochdale Town Hall, proudly sponsored by Mike Goldrick Blinds and Curtains.
