🍽️ We Need Your Help! 💙

Friends of The Together Centre, we're asking for your support once again!

For several years, thanks to funding from the Jigsaw Foundation, we have been able to provide and deliver FREE nutritious meals to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

Our Together Community Food Project supports Jigsaw Homes tenants who may be unable to leave their homes due to disability, mobility issues, ill health, trauma, or other circumstances that make everyday life more challenging.

Every week, our dedicated volunteers deliver meals that provide not only nourishment but also a friendly face, reassurance, and connection to the community. ❤️

🗳️ Please Vote for Us!

To help us continue delivering this vital service throughout 2026–2027, we need your vote through the Jigsaw Rewards scheme.

If you are a Jigsaw Homes Tameside tenant, or know someone who is, please register (or log in if already registered) and vote for:

☀️ Another Busy Morning at Mum's, dads, nanna's, granddads, carer & Tots @ The Together Centre! ☀️

What a fantastic morning we had today despite the hot weather! 🌞

Our little explorers enjoyed a whole range of creative and sensory activities, including:

🧊 Exploring ice and watching it melt

🫧 Sensory play with shaving foam

🍲 Making "soup" using pasta and kitchen play equipment

🏠 Creating colourful little houses and adding people to the windows

🌳 Getting creative with play dough

🚂 Playing with the ever-popular train set

🎨 Collaborative mark-making and imaginative play with friends

These activities might look like simple fun, but they help develop communication skills, creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, confidence, and social interaction through play.

A huge thank you goes to our wonderful volunteers, Lianne and Kath, who once again put together an amazing range of activities and experiences for the children. Your creativity, enthusiasm and dedication make such a difference every week. 💙🧡

It was lovely to see so many children learning, exploring and making new friends while parents and carers enjoyed spending time together too.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning – we can't wait to do it all again next week! 😊

💙🧡

☀️ Beat the Heat and Stay Safe Together! ☀️

With some warmer weather on the way, we want to make sure everyone in our community stays safe, comfortable, and healthy. Some of us—especially our older friends, those with health conditions, and little ones—can find the heat a bit tough, so let’s look out for one another!

Here are a few quick, friendly reminders based on the latest safety guidance to help you manage the sunny days ahead:

💧 Keep Hydrated and Plan Ahead

Drink up: Sip plenty of fluids throughout the day (water is best!) and try to avoid too much alcohol, which can dry you out.

Dress for the weather: Wear loose, light-coloured clothing, and don't forget your sun hat and sunglasses if you're heading out.

Check the forecast: Keep an eye on the weather news and try to plan ahead to avoid the heat during the hottest parts of the day.

Slow down:

When it is hot, take it easy and slow down.

🏡 Staying Cool and Safe
Find a cool spot: Go indoors or outdoors, whichever feels cooler for you. Keep your curtains closed during the day on windows that face the sun to keep the heat out!

Never stay in closed cars: Vehicles get hot incredibly fast. Avoid closed spaces and never leave anyone else inside.

Cool your skin: Wiping your skin with cool water is a great way to lower your temperature and slow down.
Swim safely: If you are cooling off in water, please stay safe when swimming.

📞 Watch Out For Each Other
Please keep a close eye on your neighbours, family, and friends. Be on the lookout for signs of heat-related illness. If you or someone you know starts feeling unwell:

Cool down immediately: Move to a cool place, slow down, sip water, and cool the skin with water.

Get professional advice: Call NHS 111 for supportive medical advice, or call 999 straight away in an emergency.

For more helpful tips on staying safe during a heatwave, you can always visit www.nhs.uk/heatwave.

Stay safe, stay cool, and don't hesitate to pop into the centre if you need a breather or a cool glass of water!
