We’ll all be remembered for something 💛

A funny story that still makes everyone laugh.
A unique hobby.
Or a favourite saying.

But you can also be remembered for the difference you made.

This Remember A Charity Week, we’re raising awareness of the lasting impact you can make by leaving a gift in your Will to a charity that means something to you.

After taking care of the people closest to you, a gift in your Will to The Rossendale Trust, no matter the size, could help us continue supporting people with learning disabilities to live the life they choose for generations to come.

Your kindness can become part of your legacy.

If you’d like to find out more about leaving a gift in your Will to The Rossendale Trust, visit our website below 👇

💙 The customers love Paul at Arighi Bianchi! 💙

A few weeks ago, a customer visited Arighi Bianchi with her Stroke Assistance dog, Willow. While she was there, she captured a lovely photo of Paul giving Willow some fuss. 🐾

This week, she returned with a very special surprise for Paul, she had the photo made into a coaster just for him! 💙

Such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely reminder of the connections Paul has made during his time at Arighi Bianchi.

Safe to say, Paul was delighted with his gift! 😊

⚽️💙 Another Macclesfield FC visitor for Paul!

Our Paul is becoming quite the popular man at Caffè AB! ☕️

This week it was captain Paul Dawson who stopped by for a coffee and to say hello to Paul during his Wednesday shift at Arighi's.

A big thank you to Paul Dawson for taking the time to support our Paul.

Small gestures like these mean such a lot and are a wonderful example of the community spirit we’re so lucky to have here in Macclesfield. 🤍⚽️

A lovely Wednesday visit from Paul Dawson, captain of Macclesfield FC ✨

Paul stopped by Caffè AB for a Worker Bee coffee and to say hello to our Paul from the The Rossendale Trust who joins the Caffè team every Wednesday.

Dawson told us that after Macclesfield games, Paul waits to catch up with him and Same Heathcote to talk about the match, so it was wonderful for them to enjoy a chat here at Arighi Bianchi.

Our Paul is always delighted to welcome members of the team into Caffè AB. It’s moments like these that make our local community so special🤍

URGENT T-SHIRT PRINTING PLEA!

Is there anyone in the Congleton, Macclesfield, Kidsgrove or Newcastle-under-Lyme area who could urgently help me? 🙏

I need some artwork printed onto a T-shirt, FRONT & BACK, and I’m looking for someone who could turn it around ASAP.

I already have the artwork ready to go – I just need someone with the equipment and availability to print it!

Happy to travel to you and, of course, pay for the printing.

If you can help, or know somebody who might be able to, please tag them or drop us a message! 🙏

Llandudno Adventure!🌊

Sarah and Paul recently enjoyed a fantastic holiday to Llandudno, making lots of wonderful memories along the way! 🥰

One of the highlights was a trip up the Great Orme on an open-top bus, what a brilliant way to take in those amazing views and enjoy the fresh sea air!

They also enjoyed a trip to the theatre to see Jersey Boys, adding a little music and entertainment to their getaway!

It looks like Sarah and Paul had a fabulous time exploring, enjoying new experiences and making the most of their holiday. 💜

We hope you both had the best time! 😊

💜 A Shout-Out to Our Amazing Support Workers! 💜

Today we want to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible support workers across The Rossendale Trust. 👏

Our support workers are at the heart of so much that happens across our charity. From providing everyday support and encouragement to enabling days out, new experiences and opportunities to be part of the local community – the difference they make is huge.

And sometimes, a smile says it all! 💜

Just look at Bryony enjoying a recent day out to Wilmslow Garden Centre with senior support worker Wendy! 🌸🌿 That smile is a wonderful reminder of why the work our support teams do every single day is so important.

To all of our support workers across The Rossendale Trust – thank you for your care, dedication and for helping the people we support live fulfilling lives and make wonderful memories. We appreciate everything you do! 💜👏

💜 A Sweet Trip Out!

Molly and Bryony recently enjoyed a lovely visit to Bidlea Dairy with their social group!

It was a great opportunity to get out and about, spend some time together and, of course, enjoy a tasty treat! 🍦😋

It’s always lovely to see our tenants enjoying new places, making memories and having fun with friends. 💜

Looks like a brilliant day out, ladies! 😊👏
