A group of five young women from Rochdale are leading the charge for change in their community, thanks to the skills they’ve gained through the Youth Co-operative Action Programme.
The Rochdale branch of the project, delivered by the Co-operative College in partnership with Greater Manchester Youth Network, has seen all those taking part identify child poverty as an issue in their community that resonated with them.
Working together, the young women, many of whom study in Rochdale at Falinge Park High School and are aged between 12 and 17, created a celebration event online inviting members of the public along to learn more about child poverty.
