The most gorgeous picture

Fun in the sun

In May we held a family fun day.

We raised over £700 and everyone who came looked like they enjoyed themselves.

Lots of activities took place we had face painting and table top sales.

The weather was gorgeous.

Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of Emmeline’s core values, which is why we absolutely love Pride. To celebrate the diversity of our supporters, clients and local community, we held our own Pride event which was an amazing success. Open to all, we got to meet many local residents as well as long serving volunteers and supporters.

It was a fantastic celebration of music too, with performances by DJ Nickie B and Choirs Manchester, with 3 dance performances by House of Ghetto dancer Kaan.

Thanks to our table top sale, food stalls and generous donations, we managed to raise an amazing £530! Younis, our colourful mascot oversaw proceedings and we hope she’ll make an appearance at our next event.

Thankyou so much for all you do for my family. After a stressful day it was so lovely to come home and be able make a a simple but delicious dinner. I got all the ingredients from the foodbank (Bag of chopped vegetable soup mix, red lentils, chunky bread and even the soup bowl.) I can assure you it was enjoyed by us all, there’s even enough left over for lunches tomorrow. 

We are holding a Christmas event on the 19th of November
