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. @TheCountessNHS @thelandtrust @TCVMerseyside @SSAFA @CheshireWT @LearnatCZ @BlaconTeam @simonjveardley @swettenhamchem.
This morning, we attended the planting of an English Oak tree in remembrance of 80 years since the end of WWII in The Countess of Chester Country Park. As part of the @TCVMerseyside #Oaksat80 project, we were proud to donate the English Oak tree and a memorial plaque. 🌳

🎉 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: Shareaid.co.uk 🌟 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! 💛 #SHARETurns9 #ThankYou #SponsorABed #CommunitySupport #TogetherWeCan @ShitChester @SkintChester @chestertweetsuk @DeesideDotCom

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 🙌🏻 🎖️

We love our @DofE volunteers ! ❤️❤️
⌚ Time for your first #FridayRoundup of 2025! 🌄 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 DofE in 2025 – bring it on 💜
