It seems an important moment to remind our followers that anyone can experience suicidal thoughts, and it can feel hard to know how to talk to someone about it.

If you’re feeling suicidal, worried someone else is, or have lost someone to su***de, you’re not alone. Visit the Shining a Light on Su***de website for support, we’ll post the link in the comments.

You can also call Samaritans free at any time on 116 123.

Join Poet Laureate Sammy Weaver for a poetry workshop exploring our understanding of memory, place and connection!
We have two workshops on offer, one at Middleton Library, and one at Rochdale Central Library - calling poets of all levels, including beginners! ✍️

What makes us feel like we belong? Where have we come from and where are we going? We are each made up of unique stories, experiences and places. 🤔 💭

In a warm and welcoming space, Sammy will lead a series of inspiring exercises to unlock our understandings of memory, place and connection. We will journey between the real and imagined, creating new poems of empowerment, reflection and resilience.

Participants will have the chance to submit their poems for an anthology celebrating Rochdale's Year of Culture.

📆 Rochdale Central Library, Thursday 4th December 2025, 2pm-4pm.

Did you know the chances of developing prostate cancer are higher if you are black or have a family history of prostate, breast or ovarian cancer?

This why not speak to your GP to discuss your risk.
