Family Fun Day 2017

We’re celebrating our 96^th Together Trust Family Fun Day tomorrow here on our Cheadle campus on Schools Hill. As always, we’ll be welcoming ‘Graham Fisher's International It’s a Knockout’, as well as having a funfair, stalls and a cafe.

The festival remains a celebration of the Together Trust as well as a way of raising money for the charity. Throughout the years, the event has always been seen as a way of bringing the community together and introducing the public to the work being completed in the different services.

As always we have fingers crossed for dry weather for tomorrow. As is often the case, black clouds are forecast on the horizon. The Together Trust has a series of newspaper clippings running from 1920 onwards and describing the various festivals over the years. Perhaps unsurprisingly the headlines often took on a similar theme. “Rain an unwelcome visitor to Belmont”, “Successful Cheadle effort despite bad weather”, Rain ruins gate – but there was a silver lining”. “Bethesda fete triumph despite the clouds”. Manchester weather can be unsurprisingly predictable but despite the inclement weather the festival continues to be a success every year, raising much needed funds for the work of the Together Trust. Of course we couldn’t do this without the support of the local community and we hope despite the rain shower tomorrow we will see lots of faces at our gates tomorrow. See you then!
