High Sheriff Celebration & Recognition Evening
Alison Parr & Carol Braniff (Ruby’s Trustee) attended the High Sheriff Celebration & Recognition evening at The Hammond School in Chester on Monday 31 March. The evening was to celebrate the impact charities and organisations have on our community. It was a humbling evening hearing stories from other organisations and the great work that they do. There are many people doing fantastic work in our communities.
Pudding Party
The Pudding Party at Pecks in the Lion & Swan, Congleton, on Tuesday, April 1st, was a huge success, with over 50 guests indulging in a delightful selection of sweet treats.
The volunteer fundraising committee, known as The Super Troopers, served an array of delicious goodies, including scones, cakes, tarts, trifles, and even rice pudding! Guests also enjoyed a raffle on the night.
A big thank you to the team at the Lion & Swan for their fantastic hospitality and for helping make the evening so enjoyable.
Work for All event
On Wednesday 2 April Alison Parr, Rebecca Walker & Ruby attended a Work for All event at Congleton Town Hall. The event was organised by Cheshire East Council and the Job Centre. It was a great opportunity to meet new people and to talk about work and volunteering opportunities at Ruby’s.
Saturday SEND Family Social
This month’s SEND family social we had enough staff to open up both our facilities upstairs and the garden, as the weather was so lovely. Jo came with her daughter and said:
‘We had such a good time this month and my daughter loved exploring upstairs too as we hadn’t been up there before. She did crafts and games upstairs before heading out to the garden to climb and get wet in the water play! After some food she headed – as always – to the sensory room, with the glowing large egg which she LOVES! The Ruby’s team really know how important it is for SEND children to have familiarity each time we come, while giving the children the chance to explore and try new things in a safe environment with staff that get down on their level and know just how to interact with them.’
We hope to see you at one of our fundraising events or sessions at Ruby’s soon. Find all our upcoming events here.
