  These are just a few photos of the events and projects we arranged in 2025. There’s been collecting food, bras, coins and more.  A ‘Trashion’ show when, our talented and creative member made outfits from non recyclable items and we modelled them. We’ve had table top sales and our famous £1 pre-loved clothes sale (VIP visitor – the Mayor of South Ribble). Of course, we can’t forget the Afternoon Tea held at The Mill at St Catherine’s raising money for the SafeCentre. And, we raised awareness of Modern Day Slavery helping the Pan Lancashire Anti Slavery Partnership on one of their roadshows and of Domestic Violence giving Good Guys Guides to local barbers. We’ve played mini golf and eaten fish n chips, had a Christmas Party raising money for Partners in Education Swaziland (PIES) for whom, by the by, we sponsor a student’s education.
