We are a friendly group of volunteer parents and carers of deaf children in Trafford. We organise regular activities for deaf children and their families. We meet to chat through issues, offer support, gain tips and to give the children an opportunity to socialise with their hearing impaired peers which they may not get much chance to do in a mainstream school. We also organise a range of events throughout the year including sporting activities, arts and crafts, theatre trips, horse riding and parties! Often free of charge or nominal fees, these events really allow the children time to interact with each other whilst doing fun activities. We are constantly fundraising either by taking part in sponsored runs, bake sales or applying for community funding to allow us to put on a range of interesting events.
Chicago Children’s Museum’s mission is to improve children’s lives by creating a community where play and learning connect.
We fundraise to make our children’s time at Wren as inspiring and joyful as possible. We aim to provide extras the school can’t afford: a playground, therapy room and dragon-puppet workshop (!). We’re now raising money for an allotment. We hold events to bond the school community together too!

Celebrated its 250th Anniversary in 2014 Heptonstall Methodist Church is an unusual octagonal chapel building, historically significant as it's been in continuous use since 1764, making it the world's oldest Methodist Church. The octagonal design follows the theory that this shape left the devil no corners to hide in. The chapel is open every day and can be found tucked away off Northgate in the centre of the historic village of Heptonstall. Services are held at 10:45am each Sunday and you can be assured of a warm welcome. The historic significance of the chapel in Heptonstall is that it signifies the start of Methodism moving indoors. The need to avoid bad weather meant that early chapels, such as Heptonstall, were really only tools for preaching. Pure functionality was the driving force behind this unique building which uses simple materials in a pared down but beautiful design. The chapel remains a fine example of a very early Methodist building, which inevitably requires expensive ongoing upkeep. The chapel’s story actually started in 1742, which was 22-years before there was even a chapel stone in the ground. William Darney travelled from Scotland and preached throughout the area building up a large number of societies on both sides of the Pennines. The Heptonstall society grew significantly and had frequent visits from both Charles and John Wesley. These visits always attracted large crowds and led to the decision to build Heptonstall chapel. John Wesley laid the foundation stone in 1764 and preached in the unfinished shell and again two years later after the roof had been added. In Dr Richard Taylor’s BBC Four series “Churches: How to read them” he named Heptonstall Methodist Church as one of his ten favourite churches, saying: “If buildings have an aura, this one radiated friendship.” It follows that you will always be very welcome to visit and your support towards ongoing maintenance costs will be greatly appreciated.
