Welcome
The Borough of Rochdale, along with Towns and cities across the country, raised the official 2012 flag to coincide with the closing of the Beijing Olympic Games and the handing over of the flame and flag to London. Joining in the event was triple paralympic athlete Simon Jackson MBE, parents of Heywood's Keri-Anne Payne and children from a Star Track Athletics Course as Link4Life launches its Athlete Development Programme to support local athletes from first skills to Olympic hopefuls.

About Link4Life
Link4Life is the new name for leisure and cultural services in the Borough of Rochdale from 1 April 2007 when services formally transferred from Rochdale Council into a Rochdale Boroughwide Cultural Trust. We have four main areas to the Trust - arts and heritage, entertainment, fitness and health, and sport and leisure. The Trust is providing these services on behalf of Rochdale Council under a formal 15 year partnership agreement.
