Where We Are

The hub has recently moved to 111 Church Street – this is where donations can be dropped off and sorted by our dedicated team  to be sent where they are needed or through to the shop. The Charity Shop is an Aladdin’s cave of bargains – clothes, household & small electrical items all priced to sell to raise much needed funds for our nominated causes.

Donations for the younger members of our community are sent to our dedicated shop on Harehill Road. You can be assured of an abundance of quality preloved children clothes up to the age of 5 along with baby items, toys , books and gifts.

The Rochdale Resource Centre is a vital operation where support workers can collect essential goods for families in need. The stock is made from your kind donations and from the proceeds of the charity shops.

Some of The Many Local Charities & Groups We Support

This facility for children and teenagers with severe disabilities is second to none and mainly achieved by fundraising. We are so glad to be able to support them as much as we can, we left Rachel with a cheque and some sensory toys totalling £1000

Its now our 5th year of helping to raise funds and awareness of all forms of cancer, this year even more so having felt it’s full force with the loss of 2 of our staff.

Reuse Littleborough have sponsored the training tops for the two Littleborough Juniors under 10’s teams (Yellows & Blues) ensuring that all 22 players will be warm whilst playing this autumn and winter.

I was proud to assist in the formal opening of ReUse Littleborough at its home in the old Royal Oak pub in 2018. Since then it has flourished  going from strength to strength, opening a second retail unit in Littleborough as well as operating from a location in Rochdale centre. It helps all the communities of the Borough in all aspects of need as well as extending overseas.
If ever an establishment deserves charity status it is Reuse Littleborough for going above and beyond. Long may it reign.

You do a fantastic job.x

Whatever would all these needy people do without the help they receive from Michael and his wonderful team? They boldly go where other service providers are unable to. Long may they go onward and upward❤️

Can’t thank you enough for opening up on Bank Holiday Monday to assist my mum who, due a health condition, was in urgent need of a rise and recline chair.  I contacted you on Saturday and by Monday lunchtime she was comfortable in her own home for the first time in weeks and able to rest up and is now slowly recovering.

Thank you so much

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you. When my mother in law suddenly became poorly it was a great shock for us all. Overnight my role changed from daughter in law to almost full time carer. As her mobility decreased it was the hub that I was able to get the necessary equipment from to aid her, and so fast might I add. We are also eternally grateful for the never ending supply of incontinent products you were able to give to us. The panic and upset when we couldn’t get these supplies from local pharmacies was quickly halted with a phone call to ReUse Littleborough. When your world is turned upside down it was a great comfort for me and my family knowing  that we had such a compassionate, caring and resourceful service on our doorstep from yourselves.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you. I called in recently to see if I could get hold of a wheelie walker for a lady who lives on her own. Unfortunately her mobility has deteriorated due to Parkinson’s disease resulting in a couple of falls. Very little help on offer from anywhere else so I popped in to the hub in Littleborough.

Problem solved within minutes. The team were so kind and immediately helpful. No red tape or waiting for appointments. The availability of the walker has made such a difference.

Amazing community support. I took a rough sleeper who has a place to sleep to get a free mattress and bedding from Leo at Mick's Resource Centre. Take what you need, no charge the guy was so happy.

J.H.

A great big thank you to everyone at Reuse Littleborough for all the hard work by the amazing volunteers. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you all Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. May 2023 bring the charity status you so well deserve and have worked so hard for.☘️☘️☘️🙏🙏🙏

M.H.

Why do these poor struggling families not get help before people like you have to step in to bridge the gap? Children deserve a warm safe bed to sleep in.

S.D.
