RBH Community Kids
Staff from Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) head into the
classroom for four weeks as part of a scheme aimed at encouraging
local children to be good neighbours.
RBH Community Kids is a involves RBH staff and tenant volunteers
working initially with Year Five pupils at local Primary School
children across the borough.
The project is a linchpin of the Communities First programme,
that recognises and rewards individuals and groups who make a
positive contribution to their local communities.
RBH Staff have worked with teachers and the Police Community
Support Officer at Boarshaw Primary School to develop specially
designed lessons that meet the requirements of the citizenship
element of the national curriculum.
The children learn about their own communities, going for a
walkabout on their estate to photograph and discuss the things they
like and dislike locally. They also welcome tenants and
residents for a cup of tea and a chat to find out how anti-social
behaviour affects them and how the children can have a positive
influence on their community.
