RBH is at the heart of the local community here in the towns and villages of Rochdale Borough, and we’re proud to be a pioneering mutual housing society in the home of co-operation. We're proud of how our tenant and employee members have come together to face the challenges of the pandemic, and to provide support to those in our communities who need it the most.

Over the past year, we've seen the importance of our strength and resilience. Throughout the challenges of COVID-19, we continue to deliver our ambitious plans to help us to provide the right mix of new and existing quality homes across the Borough. We continue to ensure our tenants at all stages of life can thrive and succeed. We continue to improve the way we work, making sure that we deliver the services our customers value.

At the heart of this resilience are our tenant and employee members – working together to genuinely build back better from the pandemic, tackle the key sector-wide issues of decarbonisation and building safety, and make sure we're ready for the new challenges that 2021 and beyond will bring.

If you share our values and our commitment to Rochdale Borough, we’d love to hear from you!
