We were proud to host the start and finish of the Manchester leg of the Championing Social Care Great British Care Cycle Relay Race, welcoming cyclists as they completed an inspiring 96km journey in support of social care.ππ΄π½
It was a privilege to welcome special guests, including local MP Connor Rand, who officially cut the ribbon and sent the cyclists on their way. Our Operations Manager, Pauline Parker-Moor, also gave a wonderful speech highlighting the importance of community, care, and the incredible work across the social care sector.
Despite challenging weather conditions, with rain for much of the event and strong winds later on, the spirit of our community remained strong. Residents came out to wave, cheer, and show their support as the cyclists set off, creating a fantastic atmosphere.π
In the afternoon, we were delighted to welcome the cyclists back across the finish line, where they received a warm reception from residents, staff and visitors. Although the wind continued, the weather improved and everyone enjoyed celebrating this remarkable achievement together.
We were also pleased to host a range of local community organizations and stallholders, offering valuable information and opportunities for people to connect with services and support available in the local area.
The celebrations continued with refreshments, nibbles, and a glass of prosecco as we marked the successful completion of the relay and reflected on a truly memorable day.π₯π
A huge thank you to Championing Social Care, all the cyclists, our special guests, stallholders,
residents, staff and everyone behind the scenes who made this event a success. We are honoured to have played a part in this inspiring initiative and to support the recognition of social care across our communities.π
