Help us to raise funds for the RAFC Community Trust

And that’s why we’re helping out by taking part in the club’s latest charity event.

Our founding editor Matt Turner will be taking part in this year’s Rochdale Sleep Out, joining Dale fans and members of the community in spending one night under the Crown Oil Arena floodlights.

Matt will be collecting content for a written and video feature before bedding down for the night in the stands, with all funds raised going towards the Changing Lives campaign run by the Rochdale AFC Community Trust and Petrus aimed at supporting people experiencing homelessness and those living in supported accommodation through football, wellbeing, education and employability opportunities.

And by subscribing to the Pearl Street Post, you can help the campaign as well as supporting high-quality, independent coverage of Rochdale AFC.

We are pledging to donate 20 per cent of any new subscriptions from now until the end of October to the fundraising effort.

That means for every new monthly sign-up we get during that time, £1 will go into the pot and for every annual subscription, £10 will be donated.

To sign up, click “Subscribe” at the top of this page and follow the instructions to choose your desired subscription.

The Changing Lives campaign is making a difference to so many lives in our town – and we’re right behind it!
