Rebecca, who we support in Urmston had the time of Rebecca, who we support in Urmston had the time of her life when Patrick Swayze turned up at her house! πŸ•ΊπŸ‘»πŸŒŸ

It was a dream come true when a lifesize cardboard version of the 'Dirty Dancing' and 'Ghost' star arrived. Her already happy home, as seen in last week's spring clean, is a much happier one.

Last night, Joe, our Deputy Team Manager in North Last night, Joe, our Deputy Team Manager in North Manchester, received a special award for his bravery.  He received the Citizen's Commendation award for Lifesaving First Aid from @gtrmanchesterpolice.

Joe gave first aid to a Police Officer, who was seriously assaulted in the line of duty.  With his Nursing Associate Training, he recognised that the officer was choking on her blood.  He cleared her airway before tending to her other injuries.

Joe said he was shocked and surprised to be recognised for his bravery. He was presented with his award at Hough End Complex, Chorlton-cum-Hardy by Chief Constable, Sir Stephen Watson QPM.

The Police Officer is now back at work after making a full recovery.  With Joe's Nursing Associate Training, he did what he thought was "second nature".

From everybody at @future_directions, congratulations on clinching your Citizen's Commendation award at Hough End. Well done!
