A message from Amanda Newton, RBH Chief Executive

We have all looked on with horror over the last few days at the appalling violence we have seen in towns and cities across the country. These disgraceful and violent incidents are fuelled by hatred and racism and we have seen the impact of this affect people and communities across the country. It is truly shocking and we at RBH will be clear: we stand against any kind of racism and discrimination and will do everything that we can to support our colleagues to be safe at work and our customers to be safe in their homes.

We know that for many customers and colleagues, these protests will feel personal. We stand together and we are here to support you. There is no place for racism in Rochdale and we have zero tolerance for racism within RBH.

RBH customers can report any concerns to us via our anti-social behaviour form, by calling our contact centre on Freephone 0800 027 7796, or by speaking to an RBH colleague. If you, or someone else, is in immediate danger, please call 999 and head for a safe place if you can. This is a worrying time for everyone, so please look out for each other over the coming days. We will make sure that kindness and tolerance prevail.
