    The Soup Kitchen Provides Support For Jolly Josh Families During Lockdown

    Marylin, one of the founders of @TheSoupKitchen, #Rochdale alongside Vida Slater, and I first met at the @SpringhillHospice #RochdaleWomanOfTheYear award ceremony. Marylin was Rochdale Woman of the Year 2018 and passed on the award to me as 2019's winner (it's still all very surreal). Perhaps our paths crossed for more than one reason that day? The Soup Kitchen have received generous donations during #lockdown due to the #Covid19 #Coronavirus #Pandemic (if you are willing t

    Halloween & Bonfire Night celebrations

    Well this weeks #stayandplay session @JollyJosh #Rochdale seemed to be a big hit with our little ones and tots as we explored all things Halloween. Our little ones experienced sensory play in dried lentils and had fun scooping them into the witches cauldrons, making potions and spells. We looked at Halloween books and read spooky stories before making sparkling rocket fireworks to zoom into the night sky for bonfire night. Our visiting professional this week was Alex, a #Heal

    Queen's Park 2

    We still had lots of fun despite the heavy rain at this weeks #SummerSocial at @Queenspark in #Heywood, #Rochdale. Our families, tots and children had plenty of fun playing on the swings and climbing frames while the weather was dry. When the weather turned we took shelter under the stage area and our little ones explored our sensory resources whilst our more adventurous children ran around and played with a ball in the rain. Thank you to all of our families who came to join

    Hare Hill Park

    The drizzle didn't stop us having fun at this weeks #SummerSocial @HareHillPark in #Littleborough. Once the rain had eased off, our little ones enjoyed playing on the swings and exploring the play area. We even managed a stroll around this beautiful park during the dry spell. Thank you to the parents, little ones and tots that managed to join us despite the weather, together we can help to reduce #isolation and #anxiety by #InspiringInclusion. Please join us on Thursday 22nd

    Summer Social - Queen's Park

    For this weeks @JollyJosh #SummerSocial we enjoyed playing in the sunshine @Queen'sPark in #Heywood. As you can see from our photographs, our tots, little ones and their families had fun blowing bubbles and playing with sensory resources. We had a nice stroll through the #GreenFlagPark taking in the beautiful scenery, and of course; a trip to the park means fun on the swings too! Thank you to all of our parents, little ones and older siblings for joining us this week and maki

    'Happy 6th Month Birthday' Jolly Josh

    The idea of #JollyJosh months ago was ‘pure imagination’. A chain of events would lead me to realise that there was a gap in the system; the solution would become Joshua’s legacy. We have a large, loving, supportive family who were with us every step of Joshua’s Journey, we also have a wonderful network of friends yet I still wanted to meet someone ‘living’ a similar situation. At the time we knew that Joshua had suffered from ‘extensive brain damage’, we knew that his ‘miles
