About The Rossendale Trust

We are a Trust that provides supported living for adults with learning disabilities.  We have a offices and apartments in Sutton, Macclesfield, and other houses in Macclesfield, Buxton, and Chapel-en-le-Frith.

We were started by two families in the village of Sutton, in 1973, who saw that there was a need for respite care for parents who had disabled children. They sold their houses, pooled the cash and bought the lovely big Rossendale Hall - where I sit and type this to you today.

Initially the hall was intended as a place for short stay care, but it developed into a full time care home over the years. Above is a short stay resident from 1978.
Now the hall looks like this:

We have 61 tenants living with us across Cheshire and Derbyshire. And I can tell you, it's a truly lovely place to work!
