We are proud that @CountessPark is home to one of @merseyforest #Oaksat80 memorial trees. Great to have so many join us for the planting ceremony.

🎉 SHARE Turns 9! 🎉
This week, we’re celebrating 9 years since opening our very first ShareShop in Chester on 16th January 2016! 🥳

What started as a small shop with a big heart has grown into so much more. Thanks to your incredible support, the ShareShop now funds:
💛 ShareSHAC (Share Homeless Action Centre): Our brand-new day centre supporting those sleeping rough.
💛 ShareShop Mold Aid Warehouse: Providing resettled families with clothing, toiletries, and household essentials while working closely with Flintshire Council Social Services.
💛 Ongoing support for refugees through amazing groups like Care for Calais and The Hope Project in Greece.

Want to help us make an even bigger impact?
🌟 Sponsor a bed for someone sleeping rough for just £30 per night. We work with local hotels to secure discounted rates on otherwise empty rooms, giving people in need a warm, safe place to stay: https://t.co/RDVkZwGvbB
🌟 Pop in for a takeaway coffee, try out our swing seats, or bring the little ones to enjoy our free soft play area with VIP pram parking.
🌟 Enjoy café food and check out our pay-as-you-feel sale on clothing – every visit helps us do more!

Thank you for 9 years of kindness and generosity Chester. Together, we can keep changing lives! 💛

Massive appreciation @ respect to @Chesterparkrun volunteer @NorgeChester on hitting the big 250 milestone today. That’s five non-stop years of giving up a Saturday morning so other people can run. What a @parkrunUK hero 🙌🏻 🎖️

🌄 Mountaineerin share how these young people could have sat playing on their phones but instead choose to sit, chat and watch the sun go down whilst on Expedition.

🏕️ Congratulations to Scarlett and her team who completed their Bronze Expedition. Scarlett is an amputee, and she’s proud to have been able to do this with @merseyweaver

🏃‍♀️‍➡️@parkrunUK is a great place to complete some of your DofE!

🎽 Well done to Dorothy and Finlay for your amazing volunteering efforts with @Chesterparkrun and @Beverleyparkrun
