Reminder

Remembering how it felt on Mothers Day in my early grief fuels me to take actions. No mother or father should be left feeling alone and isolated after losing a child.

Hold on there parents, you are not alone, one step at a time.

Mother’s Day can bring joy, but it can also bring waves of grief that feel impossible to carry alone.
Monday 16 March, I’m creating a space for mums whose hearts are hurting — a place of solidarity, compassion, and truth.

Whether you’re grieving a child, feeling the pain of estrangement, or simply struggling with the expectations of the day, our Grief Café is here for you.

Where: Bluesci Well-being Centre
Old Trafford
What time: 1pm 2:30pm

You don’t need to explain.
You don’t need to be “okay.”
You just need to come as you are

Hi everyone, I’m Rebecca 👋

As part of the GIFT Committee at ForHousing, I’m really proud of the work we do each year to support brilliant local charities through fundraising, volunteering and awareness‑raising.

This year, we want to do something a little different - we want to hear from you! 💬💛 Your voice matters, and I’d love to know which charities mean something to you, your family, or your community.

👇 How you can get involved
You can help shape who we support in 2026 by nominating a local charity or a voluntary sector organisation that’s made a positive difference in your life or neighbourhood.
Maybe they’ve supported you or someone you care about. Maybe you’ve seen the impact they have locally. Big or small, if they make a difference, we want to know about them.

To nominate, simply:
✔️ Click the link below
✔️ Tell us the name of the charity or group
✔️ All nominees must be a registered charity with a registered charity number
✔️ Tell us the area
✔️ Add contact details if you have them
✔️ Hit submit and your nomination will be added to the spinning wheel for your area!

🗓️ Nominations close Friday 6 March

Please feel free to share this with friends and neighbours too, so they can nominate charities that matter to them.

👉 Nominate your chosen charity here: https://bit.ly/4rAATo8

Once nominations are in, we’ll review them alongside our colleague nominations and confirm which charities we’ll be supporting throughout the year. We’ll keep you updated on all the amazing work they do, and how we’re helping them.

Thanks so much for getting involved and helping us support the causes that mean the most in our communities 💙
