What a night! On Saturday evening, two members of our team were delighted to attend St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire spectacular Masquerade Ball.

St Catherine’s Hospice is our chosen charity and holds a very special place in our hearts, and we’re always proud to support its vital work. It was a privilege to join more than 400 guests for a memorable evening of fantastic entertainment in a wonderful venue, all while raising much-needed funds for an incredible charity that makes such a difference in our community.

We look forward to finding out how much was raised on Saturday evening.

We were delighted to take part in this year’s and bring colleagues together for a brilliant cause.

Together, we raised a fantastic £196.50 for Macmillan Cancer, proof that a shared love of cake can make a meaningful difference!

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated cakes or joined us on the day. Your support helped make the event a real success.

At Amber River True Bearing, giving back to our community is part of who we are. Whether that’s raising money for charities or volunteering our time.

On Monday, Lisa Lilley and Sophie Georgeson from our team volunteered with Warm Welcome, helping to support their Harvest lunch.

Warm Welcome meets once a week at Clayton Brook Community Church, providing a warm space, warm food and drinks for their community members.

Throughout the year, Warm Welcome hosts events such as its Harvest lunch, offering a full hot meal, from a roast dinner or hotpot to dessert.

When the charity holds these special lunches, they rely on volunteers to help prepare and serve the food and, of course, tackle the extremely large amount of washing up!

It was a privilege to support such a welcoming community initiative and see first-hand the difference it makes locally. Thank you again to Lisa and Sophie for giving their time on Monday and being such a great help to Warm Welcome.

What a fantastic day we had on Saturday at our Summer Splash event for colleagues and their families!

Held at the beautiful Duxbury Park Golf Course, next to the River Yarrow, it was the perfect setting for a fun-filled day together.

With the sun shining, everyone enjoyed a brilliant mix of outdoor activities, including adventure golf, garden games, a treasure hunt and much more. There were also delicious stone-baked pizza and chips for lunch, followed by some well-earned sweet treats!

The fun continued with our “Name the Jellycat Bear” competition and raffle, which raised a fantastic £120 for our chosen charity, St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire

A huge thank you to Jon and his team at Duxbury Park Golf Course for looking after us so well, and to the Amber River Foundation for helping make the event possible. A wonderful day of sunshine, smiles and community spirit!

Congratulations to all the team Buckshaw Festival for creating an amazing event for the second year running and the weather was also good to you 😎🌞👏🏻🎉

THANKYOU BUCKSHAW 🙌🏼 🎶

What.a.day 🙈😁🤩 We’re absolutely thrilled to have created an event that topped last years debut…something we could never be sure of, or take for granted ✨

As most of you will know, our core team is only small but yesterday showed us something we’ve known all along - ‘it takes a village’ 🧡 We are beyond grateful for the huge amount of support we’ve had over the last 6 months to make Buckshaw Festival possible, so brace yourselves because this list is long 🙈

We’d like to thank…

• The incredible businesses who took on our sponsorship packages this year & gave us the crucial funding support we needed to make the day possible: Alfa Holidays, Gin & B**r It _ Mobile Bar, Amber River True Bearing & Marvel at Everything

• Additional generous financial support from a combination of our local councillors: Cllr Dedrah Moss BW & Cllr Russ Green BW at Chorley Council, Wesley C Roberts & Pete PilLinger at SRBC, Aidy Riggott BV at Lancashire CC and Euxton Council. It’s great to see funds being put back into our community for events like ours 🧡

• RMG for allowing us use of the Hub field & community centre, The Hub at Buckshaw for kindly giving up their car park on the day for our small business stalls, and Trinity Primary School for the use of their entire outdoor space, enabling us to significantly increase the size of our entire festival 🙌🏼

• All the incredible performers, bands, singers & dance groups, who brought all THREE of our stages to life! 🤩🎤 & of course Bowkers Transport for providing the outdoor stages and Paul K Sound & Vision and CDS Events for all things technical 🔌

• Every entertainment provider for bringing their A-game with heaps of fun for all ages 🎪⛳️

• Every single one of our small business & charity stalls, the amazing variety of handmade products was incredible to see. We know the hours that each of you put in to bring such an incredible show of products to each of your stalls & they all looked fantastic! 🤩

• The delicious food & drink vendors, all of whom were non-stop all day but kept their cool in the chaos! 🍕🍺

• All of the businesses who generously donated prizes to our raffle & Buckshaw Tesco who saved the day with an incredible donation of tombola prizes 🏆

• To our ‘fabulous 4’ security staff for keeping an eye on things across the whole site throughout the day so you could all enjoy the event safely 🙌🏼

• Our incredible photographer David Airey who covered some serious miles all day, snapping away the action & capturing our great community spirit 📸 & to Matt B who provided his services for something special we’ll be sharing with you all very soon! 👀🤭

• Volunteers. There isn’t enough emphasis we can put on how invaluable your time & efforts have been. It’s something we’re incredibly grateful for & is truely appreciated 🧡 All the individuals who manned our refreshment stalls, carried out litter picking duties, checked portaloos & all the jobs in between. A special mention to Harvester & Buckshaw Village Church for the strength in numbers both contributed!

• St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire - our chosen charity for this year, for bringing all the glitter & fun on the day. The figures are still being finalised but we can’t wait to calculate the total raised! 🤩

& finally, if you’ve made it this far….

YOU. Every single one of you that attended. For coming out in your thousands to enjoy and soak up all the things mentioned above. For the feedback, the laughter & the general good vibes 😎☀️ To look around the area this morning, you wouldn’t even know it had happened. No litter, no damage, just our beautiful village with a little extra glow to it 🥰🧡

Should we keep Sunday 27th June free next year…? 👀🤭

A huge well done to our fantastic team who took part in the St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire Moonlight & Memories Walk on Saturday night. Despite the very warm weather, they completed either the 6-mile or 8-mile route and raised an incredible £810 for this wonderful charity. 👏 A brilliant effort for a very worthy cause. Well done, everyone!
