What people say about Impact

Here’s a few comments from key figures within Impact and from wider a field.



“The council works well with partners to improve Value for Money. Its commercial partnerships are helping to improve service quality, reduce
costs and bring significant extra investment into the borough.”
Rochdale Comprehensive Area Assessment 2009, Audit Commission - review of Impact Partnership and Link4Life


"Ultimately, our collective aim is to improve the quality of life for people in the borough. Together, we can do more than we can do alone – and Impact bring a wealth of knowledge, skill and expertise to the table. The results are already impressive, with 300 new jobs being created since 2007 and significant regeneration projects such as the Rochdale
town centre Masterplan moving forward via a partnership approach. Together, the partnership is quite rightly ambitious for Rochdale borough and will ensure that it is well placed to face the challenges of the next few years.
Irene Davidson, former Council Leader



"Rochdale is the birthplace of co-operation. Strong and well
co-ordinated partnerships are helping us to achieve better
outcomes for local people against a challenging social and
economic backdrop. Impact Partnership has added strength
to our regeneration and transformation plans, securing
investment and new jobs for local people that could not have
been secured in any other way."
Roger Ellis, Chief Executive of Rochdale Council
