Rochdale town hall volunteers

As part of the national volunteers week in 2025, we worked with Rochdale Town Hall to capture the stories and experiences of the amazing volunteers that attend the building. The film highlights the iconic landmark of Rochdale Town Hall, capturing its stunning beautiful statements from wood carvings to stained glass windows. But most of all, this film focuses on the wonderful volunteers who welcome hundreds of new and returning people to Rochdale Town Hall. From personal stories into their positions to detailed efforts on the upkeep of the historic building but most importantly, the community that’s built with being a volunteer.
