Our community drop-in sessions are an opportunity to meet with members of your RBH Neighbourhood Team in person. There's no appointment needed, and you can get help and support with a variety of things, including reporting repairs, paying your rent, dealing with damp and mould, tackling anti-social behaviour, and much more!

At every drop-in you will be able to talk to a member of our Engagement Team and one of your local Neighbourhood Housing Officers, plus your Income Officer and a Money Matters team member. No appointment or booking is required, just drop in and say hello.

  • Heywood: First Thursday of the month (10am until 12 noon) at Sandon House Community Centre, Taylor Street, Heywood, OL10 1EF
