Happy 1st of June everyone 🥰☀️

I know we’ve been super quiet, but we haven’t been able to share much about what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Thank you for your patience while we’ve been dealing with the last few months. Thank you to everyone who has checked in on us, to those who’ve offered support, and to our wonderful volunteers who have been nothing short of amazing 💕 🥰
Things happen for a reason and I truly believe that whatever comes next is a step in the right direction.

We’re still working away quietly in the background with other organisations. Even though social media has been quiet, we promise we haven’t disappeared. We’re taking some time during June and July to gather our thoughts, rest a little, and hopefully come back with fresh ideas and a clearer path forward.

We’d love to hear from you, how are you all doing, are you looking forward to the summer holidays? what would you like to see in our area? What do you feel is missing, or what would make a difference for local families? (But no shop)

I just love our community, and no matter how things shift or change, that part never will 💛

What are we going to do with our trolleys?! 😢🛒

Many of you have asked over the years if you could buy our children’s shopping trolleys… and now might finally be your chance 👀

As we prepare for yet another move, we’re deciding what to do with them and thought we’d see what interest there is!

Would people prefer:
🛒 A straight sale
🎟️ A raffle
💛 Or another fun idea?

These little trolleys have been such a huge part of Rain or Shine and so many children have loved using them over the years 💕

Let us know your thoughts in the comments 👇

Sit down, get a cuppa (you'll need it) and catch up on what's happening...

After moving out of CTEC in November, we have been working behind the scenes on creating a new base and future community hub for Rain or Shine and the CamGlen community.

We hadn’t publicly announced the move yet because we were busy getting the space ready and securing funding to make it something really special for the community.

Sadly, things haven’t worked out as planned, and we’re honestly gutted 😢

Rutherglen Baptist Community church hall was going to become our new base and the home of that future community hub. Over the past few months, alongside our incredible volunteers, we spent countless hours clearing, fixing, and transforming the space. We invested our own time, money, and energy because we genuinely believed in what it could become for the community.

We entered into this in good faith based on what had been discussed and agreed at the outset. Unfortunately, circumstances outwith with our control have changed and we’re no longer able to continue using the space. This also means that funding we secured for the project can no longer be used as originally planned.
It’s incredibly disappointing, especially knowing how much hard work and commitment our volunteers gave to try and make it happen.

That said, we’re choosing to stay positive. Sometimes difficult situations help refocus what matters most.

One big decision we’ve made is that we won’t be running a shop again. While it helped fund our work, it also took up so much time that it pulled us away from the actual community support and projects we’re passionate about.
So moving forward, our focus will be firmly on community support, events, helping people, and creating positive opportunities wherever we can 🌈

For now, we’re on the move again — for the third time in a year! 🏠
(Destination currently unknown — suggestions welcome!) but we’ll keep everyone updated along the way.

We’ve also got more items available, so keep an eye on the page 👀

As always, thank you to every single volunteer, supporter, and person who believed in what we were trying to build. We genuinely couldn’t do any of this without you 💕
