We’re incredibly proud to celebrate a double award success at The Rossendale Trust

We were honoured to receive the High Sheriff of Cheshire’s Award for Community Involvement last week, recognising the impact of our WorkTaste programme and Oakwood volunteering opportunities in supporting people with learning disabilities and strengthening our local community.

The celebrations didn’t stop there—our Finance Manager, Wendy Elwood, was named Young Person of the Year at the East Cheshire Chamber Business Awards on Friday evening.

At just 26, Wendy’s leadership and dedication were deservedly recognised by the judges and we couldn’t be prouder of her.

These achievements reflect the hard work of our whole team and the incredible people we support every day.

What does independence truly look like?

For many of the people we support, it starts with something simple but powerful: having a home of their own, making everyday choices, and feeling part of a community.

Our latest blog, The Power of Independence, explores how supported living fosters confidence, opportunity, and belonging.
