Cheadle Festival 2010

Our local supporters raised over £10,000 for the Together Trust on Saturday 5th June 2010 at our 89th annual Cheadle Festival. The event, which helped generate funds for our care and education services in the North West, featured face painters, a fun fair and a guest appearance by one of Coronation Street’s longest standing stars Sue Nicholls.

During the day, festival goers also enjoyed over 50 stalls selling locally produced items and two dramatic ‘It’s A Knockout’ competitions. After battling it out against their rivals, teams from The AA and Royal Bank of Scotland were declared winners, with St Mary’s Church (from Cheadle), Simply Health and Pets at Home also making the podium.

Topping off the event, Sue Nicholls, an avid supporter of ours, paid a visit to the Festival and even gave attendees a surprise rendition of her 70s chart hit, Where Will You Be?

Commenting on the event, Sally Bowden, fundraising manager said: “The Festival was a fantastic success. We’ve still got money coming in, but at first count, we look set to go over the £10,000 mark.

“This money will make a dramatic difference to the Together Trust, and will be used to support a range of projects for the children, young people and adults who access our services across the North West.”

The next Cheadle Festival has been confirmed as Saturday 4th June 2011 – keep checking our website for details.
