WE ARE
ROSSENDALE VIBES
Rossendale Vibes is a celebration of everything that makes our Valley brilliant. We're here to champion the incredible local businesses, independent makers, creatives, community groups, and events that make Rossendale such a unique and inspiring place to live, work, and explore.
Our Mission
It's simple, really: we want to support and promote our local community. We do this through honest, creative, and collaborative marketing that's either free or affordably priced. Our goal is to connect local people, local businesses, and grassroots projects, helping everyone thrive.
Whether you're in Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Bacup, Waterfoot, or one of the surrounding villages, we're here to connect you with your neighbours and help your business grow. We're all about highlighting local talent, sharing genuine stories, and making sure everyone in Rossendale knows what's happening right on their doorstep.
How We Started
What started as a passion project on social media—spotlighting local businesses with fun, free reels and collaborations—is growing into something much bigger! Think of us as your friendly, local cheerleaders. Join us as we grow a stronger, more connected community, one shout-out, event, and collaboration at a time.
Oh, and a little heads-up: we’re proud to say Rossendale Vibes is now a Community Interest Company (CIC). That’s just a fancy way of saying we're a not-for-profit with the community at our core. Every single penny we make goes straight back into the business to support more collaboration, more promotion, and more local development across the Valley.
OUR AIMS
SUPPORT LOCAL
Rossendale is full of brilliant people doing incredible things, often quietly behind the scenes. We're here to change that. Our aim is to lift up local businesses, makers, and creatives, helping them get seen and feel supported. Through free content and creative collaborations, we’re building a thriving ecosystem where local businesses don’t just survive - they shine.
COMMUNITY
We believe a strong community is a connected one. Our goal is to bring people together in relaxed, welcoming spaces. We run community events, creative projects, and accessible networking that gets people talking and sharing ideas. It’s not about formal business; it's about building a genuine network of support and connection, because that's where the best ideas are born.
HEALTH + WELLBEING
A healthy community is about more than just physical fitness; it’s about feeling a sense of belonging. Our work contributes to the wellbeing of Rossendale by helping people feel seen, supported, and confident. By fighting isolation and creating positive spaces, we're here to help the people of Rossendale not just get by, but truly thrive.
