Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) is the UK’s first tenant and employee co-owned mutual housing society, with over 12,000 homes throughout the local area. By working together they claim to provide better places for their members, tenants and employees to live and work. Drawing on the area’s rich co-operative heritage, their pioneering model places members at the heart of decision-making, allowing everyone to enjoy a sense of security and belonging in places we make great together.

This was not the case for Awaab Ishak and his family. Awaab is why we must all work together to ensure that stock is safe, fit for purpose, fit to be called a home. Awaab Ishak deserved a dry, warm home where he could play, eat, love and learn. All children deserve this. Everyone deserves this.
