Road Refurbishment
Over the past few years, the road leading to Moorland Home has steadily deteriorated, with potholes and sections of the road gradually slipping away.

Rainbows sleep over raises funds
On Saturday 16th May, Rochdale’s 41st Rainbows were meant to have had their annual sleepover at Rochdale Children’s Moorland Home but due to Covid-19 that couldn’t happen, well, not at Moorland Home.
