Welcome to Rochdale and District Mind
(Including Bury and N.E. Lancs)
Welcome to our organisation.
This website is designed to tell you about who we are and what we do and how to get involved.
Rochdale and District Mind was established in 1988 by people with lived experience of mental distress.
Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all and that treats people with experience of mental distress fairly, positively and with respect.
The need and experience of people with mental distress drive our work and we make sure those who influence change, hear their voice. Our independence gives us the freedom to stand up and speak out on the real issues that affect daily lives.
We provide information and support, campaign to improve policy and attitudes and in partnership with independent local Mind associations, develop local services. We do all this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives and play their full part in society.
We aim to promote recovery, wellbeing and social inclusion. Our services are developed in direct response to local need and people with lived experience are involved in planning, delivering and evaluating service delivery.
There are many opportunities for volunteers and lots of ways to
get involved in supporting our work.

Feedback from our Service Users
I would like to thank all the kind people for the help I received at Mind. They are a great group of people who go out of their way to provide any services you need and are totally committed to your wellbeing. You get a one to one case worker and mine is so sensitive and understanding and is there at any time.
Thanks to everyone at Mind for their help, kindness and most of all their willingness to listen to you
