Our Centre and Café
In 2014 we proudly opened the doors to our centre. The facilities at the centre include community cafe which is open to everybody, a sensory room with hoist, soft play frame, sensory garden and changing room with hoist. Year on year we have invested, improved the facilities and provided a safe, fun environment to thousands of people across Cheshire East and the surrounding areas.
Community café and soft play
Our community café and soft play is situated on the ground floor. This space has a specially designed sensory and soft play area.
Our rooms
We have an amazing sensory room, a large siblings play room, and a games room. All our rooms have been carefully designed and equipped to help children and families enjoy their time spent with us.
Sensory Garden
The accessible Sensory Garden is outside the Activity Hall and café and, weather permitting, you can sit outside at one of our picnic tables whilst the children play in the mud kitchen, outdoor play area or water challenge game.

From paddling pools to Pride, sensory buses to sibling support, our team has been busy delivering joy, connection, and practical help to families and communities. Even while our centre was temporarily closed for preparatory works ahead of our exciting lift installation, our commitment to supporting families never paused. 💦 Splash-Tastic Fun In partnership with Congleton Town Council, we hosted five paddling pool sessions, totalling 15 hours of splashy fun in both sunshine and rain! These events weren’t…
Meet the Super Troopers: Ruby’s Fundraising Heroes
On Monday evening, our incredible volunteer fundraising committee, affectionately known as the Super Troopers, gathered at the Lion and Swan Hotel in Congleton. This passionate group of volunteers is on a mission: to raise vital funds for Ruby’s Fund so we can continue supporting families with children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

Their energy, creativity, and commitment are nothing short of inspiring. 🎉 Next Up: Rubyfest! The…
I’m on a treadmill – by Claire
At our summer lunch Alison invited Claire, one of our parents to share her experiences about Ruby’s. Here is what she wrote. It’s an insightful piece of writing and we are Ruby’s are privileged to be part of Claire and Luna’s journey. “I have written a short reflection of my own experience of being a send parent and the memories and effect of being supported by the wonderful people at Rubys Fund. I hope you enjoy”. I’m on a treadmill. I can’t get off. I’m not even sure it’s even me on there anymore. It’s still dark outside and there’s…
