“There has been a rich vein of voluntary personal service for the Institution running through the strata of the years.” - Making Rough Places Plain, William Edmondson (1921). Very little mention has been given regarding the countless numbers of staff over the years that helped to look after the charity’s children. Many worked tirelessly in the early days to ensure those that needed it were given food, a good home and in some cases medical treatment. Some gave their time freely, their only reward being the satisfaction of providing care to those in need. Matron in Bethesda garden.

The Together Trust Cheadle Festival on Saturday was a huge success and to our great delight it (largely) stayed dry. As always much food was eaten, fun had on giant soapy inflatables and music filled the air (see some photos here from the day). Of course most of the success of the day was down to the hard working staff and volunteers that gave up their time to ensure the day went ahead as planned. As a charity the Together Trust relies on its volunteers. Whether this is through fundraising or participating in activities with the young people in our care, they are vital part of the organisation. Volunteers at our Cheadle Festival, 2012
