Together Trust Christmas appeal
Last Sunday saw a familiar sight at the Together Trust Central
Offices in Cheadle. Roaring down the road on motorbikes came around a hundred
Santa’s, elves and Christmas fairies, members of the Roughley's Bikers, arriving to distribute presents to the charity. The Roughley’s Bikers’ present drop has been an annual occurrence for the last ten years, and has become a
well-loved tradition for the children and young people at the Together Trust.
In 1882 an annual bazaar was set up by Mrs Shaw, wife of one of the charity’s founders, to raise money for the Refuge at Christmas. She enlisted the sympathy and cooperation of several ladies to arrange a sale of work in the old Refuge Hall at Strangeways and later at Houldsworth Hall in Manchester. This continued for many years raising money on behalf of the charity.
