Welcome Robert Chilton, as our Vice Chair

Rob grew up in Rossendale, and has lived in various places across Greater Manchester before finally settling in Heywood, Rochdale. He currently works for the Church of England’s Diocese of Manchester, supporting parishes across the county with grant funding and sustainability.

Previously, Rob was a local Councillor in Trafford, where he was the Health Scrutiny Chair amongst other things and had previous experience of working with Healthwatch in that role, and he always found it to be a superb organisation, adding value to local decision-making in the health sector, and enabling the public to feel more involved in their own healthcare and health services. 

He is looking forward as Vice-Chair to being able to help make a positive difference to the lives of the Rochdale residents.
