About Rochdale CT
2008 has marked a turning point for RCT stepping up a gear with its own staff, supported and directed by a volunteer management committee and our partners GMPTE, CTA, RMBC, NRF and Big Lottery Fund.
We have:
Increased voluntary and community activities
Improved community relationships
Introduced training to national standards for volunteers
Improved access to education & employment
‘Rochdale Community Transport continues to improve and strengthen its structures, developing business and seeking funding’
Social exclusion is recognised as a huge problem by both local and central government across UK. It is further recognised that access, mobility and transport are the key factors in excluding people from social interactions and other vital services. We aim to reduce social exclusion by way of providing integrated speedy, cost effective and friendly services to all our users.
RCT has continued to provide transport to local community groups and individuals but has created jobs and training opportunities for local people, organisations and volunteers.
