Facilities management firm Sodexo at Astra Zeneca had a lot of fun raising £1,415 for Seashell Trust.

Some of the students went along to two fun days held at Astra Zeneca's Alderley Edge and Macclesfield sites and joined in a sponsored relay row of the English Channel on a rowing machine another all the other attractions.

Adventurous fundraisers went over the top to help Seashell Trust students.

The petrified pair took on the Trafford Centre abseil challenge.

Eighteen-year-olds Hannah Dooley, from Cranage, and Ashleigh Kent, from Goostrey, in Cheshire, raised £700 after sliding down the side of the 170ft bell tower.

There were more that just the 'bear' necessities at a very special charity teddy bears' picnic.

The party in the park was to mark the start of Gatley Rotary Club's rotate-a-ted project.

Cuddly bears that have been outgrown by their owners are being given a new lease of life and new homes to raise money for Seashell Trust.

The summer fair raised £6,700 while celebrating the trust's 60 years in Cheadle Hulme.

Wendy Bray, Seashell Trust fundraiser, said: “We had hundreds of visitors, including lots of our students and their families, as well as members of the local community, our volunteers and supporters.”

Entertainment included LL Extreme Cheerleaders and the Alderley Scout Band. Caremark, a local home care provider, ran a sweet stall and lucky dip.

Royal College Manchester students celebrated their leavers prom in style.

Family and friends waved off the 12 students in limos on their way to the party at the Hilton Manchester Airport.

Teachers and carers from the Seashell Trust-run college in Cheadle Hulme were on hand to make sure the momentous occasion was marked in a special way.

Every student was presented with an award by the head of college Bernie White before a meal and disco.
