The River Manchester

Hi! I wanted to share a fundraiser for Sue, a valued volunteer who’s currently battling cancer and going through chemo. She’s decided to shave her head and raise funds for The River Manchester, which supports those affected by domestic violence. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this can help it reach someone who might be able to support her brave act and the cause. 😊

Donate to Hair today gone tomorrow: Shaving it all for a great cause, organized by Caitriona Mccafferty Our wonderful volunteer Sue is currently going through chem… Caitriona Mccafferty needs your support for Hair today gone tomorrow: Shaving it all for a great cause

Yesterday was the end of our 6 week's Safe People course. It has been a great learning curve for all of us, learning loads of new tools, boundaries, wisdom to discern safe and unsafe traits and what to do. Great feedback from clients and giving them a safe place to share their struggles. What we learnt was to share with someone safe, not to be in isolation and connect with safe people.

If you are interested to attend this course, give us a like or email us [email protected].

We have a vacancy for a 2 days part time driver. Closing date is 18th July 2026. Applicants are invited to write in with your cv to the [email protected].

As part of saving energy cost, and for those who attended our fun and fry course, we gave away air fryers for the last course today. Everyone was very happy to get one.
