Emmaus resident Marek recently captured photos of these lovely hydrangeas in the early morning sunshine. 📷🌞

Marek was drawn to their colours and the calm setting in the gardens of the old Grade II-listed Mossley Town Hall.

A shout-out and thanks must go to the volunteers at Friends of Mossley Park for maintaining these public spaces.👏👏

"This community to me, means home – security, safety and togetherness. At the moment, we have a great group of companions, staff and volunteers, and we just get on."

You will likely know Darren from your visits to the Emmaus Mossley Secondhand Superstore. He is a friendly face to many and a valued member of our community.

Darren added: "Emmaus Mossley is somewhere where I feel I belong. I feel welcome and like I belong, not just by companions, volunteers, staff and trustees but also by some of the customers and people who support us. They know what this place is about and that feeling of belonging is important to everybody here."

Darren has recently reflected on his journey at Emmaus and you can read more via the link in comments. 💚👏

Our Friday Thanks this weekend goes to seven-year-old Freddie, who is taking on a sponsored hike up Snowdon with his family to raise funds for Emmaus Mossley.

Freddie, who loves a challenge, was keen to do something positive to help people affected by homelessness and found out about Emmaus Mossley.

Freddie commented: “It makes me sad to see homeless people and I wanted to help in any way I could.”

Astoundingly, Freddie has already reached his initial fundraising target of £500, which he exceeded in only four days! He's now increased the target to £1,000 and is appealing for more people to sponsor his hike.

He will be taking on the Snowdon hike with his family on Saturday 19 September. We wish Freddie and his family the best of luck with their adventure, and a BIG thank you for supporting Emmaus Mossley!
