Thank you @TeamIbby for these fab 18 cupcakes with the 18 charities we’ve supported over these 5 years. It’s been an incredible journey & I honestly can’t thank every #TeamIbby member enough & everyone who has supported me so much with your fab support over these years. Thank you
Evening #OldhamHour Huge thanks to everyone who so kindly donated & supported our #TeamIbby fundraisers this year. As @TeamIbby captain I can’t thank you all enough as your fab support meant we again hit our £10K target, with every £ donated to our Oldham community. Thank you
A baby cot was cracked and was saved from landfill and a neighbour kindly filled it with beautiful winter flowers and some bulbs for spring. This is to remember @nicolettepeel and to honour her as the amazing midwife she was. @tandgicft@wildman_melanie@kerryreede@jencenny

My little girl all grown up at her Prom last week and I’m thankful that I’m here to see this moment.
9.5 years ago Faron was only 7 years old and I was told that I had secondary/metastatic breast cancer.
I didn’t know if I’d be alive to see her finish Primary School let alone Secondary School…
So it was an emotional day to be able to see our beautiful daughter go to her Prom.
And best friends from 2.5 years old at nursery, it was lovely to see Faron & Lily go to prom together and have a great night 🥂🍾🎉

Earlier today, children from @Richmond_HT and Westwood Academy were invited to meet #Oldham’s new Mayor for the very first time in his parlour.
During their visit, pupils had the opportunity to ask questions to Cllr @ChauhanZahid about his new role, the borough and loads more!
On Friday, we bid a fond farewell to our Year 13s.
Mr Higgins, Headteacher, read the historic 'Charge', an entrusted duty which has been read to all students leaving Blue Coat on their final day for many decades, topped off with a visit from Mr Whippy! 🍦

Thanks for all your kind messages publicly & DM’s regarding the Civic Appreciation Award. I know I couldn’t have helped all these local charities without all your support & truly grateful to everyone, especially #oldhamhour community for your incredible support over the years.
