Rochdale Connections Trust presentation evening

Date published: 25 July 2013


Rochdale Connections Trust held a presentation evening, attended by the Mayor, Peter Rush, for those who had completed training courses.

Mayor Rush described the event as “absolutely first class.” 

He said: “It was well organised and the volunteers and people who work there did a first class job.

“It’s about getting communities together and looking after children. All I saw were happy smiling faces.

“I was very pleased to be there.”

Kathy Thomas, Chief Executive of Rochdale Connections Trust, said: “Our Mayor, Councillor Peter Rush, attended the event to hand out some certificates.

“One man, who was collecting a certificate, gave a speech about how the experience has changed his life.

“He came to us a very depressed man and wasn’t living with his wife.

“He has now turned his life around and is back with his wife.”
