Cartwheel proudly celebrates Rochdale’s long-standing tradition as a welcoming place for all.
We stand in solidarity with individuals and communities who have experienced forced migration — including refugees, asylum seekers — and their allies
We recognise the difficult choices faced by those seeking sanctuary in the UK, their right to live in safety, and the resilience, culture, and strength they bring with them.
At Cartwheel, and throughout Rochdale, there will always be safe spaces for people to connect, share stories, and learn from one another. signposting to some orgs who do this really well?
We have far more in common than that which divides us.
