This evening, we took our second group from The Manchester College, King’s Trust programme, on a walk from Coldwell Activity Centre - Group Accommodation to The Doorway to Pendle, near Boulsworth Hill. The group was amazed by the scenery even in the dark, captured plenty of photos, and enjoyed great conversations. It was a perfect evening for a walk. Very polite young people and they all appreciated our countryside 🙂

A big thank you to Coldwell Activity Centre - Group for this fantastic opportunity.

This morning, Maj and his Elf Chloe were out and about delivering Selection boxes. We stopped by Belvedere Manor Care Home, Albert House Residential Home, SafeSpace Supported Accommodation, and Waterside Youth Club. We also donated some to our kid's at Bradley Youth Club 🙂

We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of our donors. A huge thank you to everyone who donated Selection boxes and money to help us buy more.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Hope you all have a peaceful break. 🎄🤶🧑‍🎄🧝‍♀️❤️

Tonight our annual Glow Walk lit up the night! ✨👣 Amazing turnout with kids walking hand-in-hand with their families, and everyone enjoyed their glow treat bags—sweets, choc, glow sticks, specs, and wands.

We spotted some new sculptures along the Pendle Sculpture Trail. This is one of our favourite events of the year, and it wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful community. A massive thank you to everyone who joined and made it so special. If you have moments you’d like to share, drop them in the comments or send them to us to feature.
