About Pick ‘n’ party

Fed up with litter in your neighbourhood?

Like to make your area a better place to live?

Now’s your big chance to help your community make a difference.

The “Big Tidy Up” is being run by the Keep Britain Tidy campaign. It aims to help communities get together to clean up their area.

RBH is supporting this campaign with our new “Pick ‘n’ Party” project which we are running in partnership with Rochdale Council’s Environmental Management Team and the Green volunteers.

What’s it all about?

We want community groups* on Council estates managed by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) to let us know if there is somewhere on their estate that they think needs a tidy up. We can help groups to organise and promote a clean up activity and encourage people living in the community to join in the fun on the day.

RBH staff and Rochdale Council’s Green Volunteers will be there to support the communities during the litter pick and RBH will also reward everyone who has joined in by funding a party at the end of the activity up to the amount of £100 (plus any room hire charge).

This is a great chance to get together, have some fun and make a real difference to the local community. If your group would like your area to be considered please email us. You will then be asked to complete a simple nomination form to give us some basic information about when and where you would like to do your tidy up.

* Community groups means any group of volunteers who live and/or work on a Council estate managed by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing. You may be just a group of neighbours or an officially recognised group such as a Tenants and Residents Association.

Neighbours Day at Dalton Road, Middleton

Dalton Road gets a lick of paint and a good tidy!

Rachel Lartey (tenant) said, “The caretakers were fantastic, they helped us to erect three gazebo’s to protect the buffet lunch from the rain and made frequent trips to the tip with the rubbish brought out from people’s gardens.”

“It was amazing to see how many people came out of their houses to join in – teenagers helped those who were less able to move rubbish and paint fences, mums with prams picked litter and men and women helped the caretakers loading the van with rubbish. On bank holiday Monday it was great to see people painting their own or their neighbour’s fence. It has brought the community together.”

If you would like to get involved in any of the above events or would like us to help you plan one of your own please email or telephone Ruth Sillence (Communities First Co-ordinator) on 01706 651425.
