An alternative route is also described to the tarn. The walk heads on down the dry valley to reach the limestone top of Malham Cove, before dropping back down into Malham.

Restorative SCS Celebrate Eid

, , ,

Young people and staff across Restorative SCS homes recently celebrated Eid, please see how a few of the homes celebrated.

Bridge House

Bridge House staff hosted the second annual lifting of the fast, Ramadan festival on 14th March. Staff from the home, including the manager, F Naveed and also residential support worker, N Akhtar, spent a number of hours throughout the day, cooking up some wonderful authentic Asian cuisine, to mark the important celebration in the Muslim calendar. Young people from the home were also keen to help out with the food preparation and were also joined by the arrival of another young person, from sister home, Ogden Moor. 

As part of the celebration of the lifting of fast, and as is the custom, staff and young people ate food on a special mat, seated around on the floor. Young people engaged really well and were keen to understand the different customary traditions, as well as try some of the lovely food.

Young people and staff are already looking forward to next year, although for Faiza and Nat, this was a time for reflection 😊

The Big Sleep Out

, , , ,

On the evening of Friday 14th of March 2025, The Young people and staff from Restorative SCS took part in ‘Happy Days – The Big Sleep Out’. This was the opportunity for people to understand the challenges of people who are homeless and are required to sleep rough, whilst also raising awareness and funds for the charity. It was a great event with 71 people attending in total.

There was a hot meal provided, a fire pit and live music. All slept in the multi storey car park in Dean Clough, and the temperature dropped to -1 degrees, being the coldest year so far!

Please see below the message personally sent from Happy Days to all the attendees. I feel super proud that Laura the Manager from Happy Days has personally mentioned us in the write up!!

“A huge THANK YOU for taking part in the Big Sleepout on Friday night! Your support, resilience, and dedication have made an incredible difference – and we’re thrilled to share that together, we’ve raised an amazing £15,300!”

“This fantastic total will go directly towards supporting people experiencing homelessness and crisis, ensuring they receive the help they need.”

“A special note to the young people and staff from Restorative – thankyou so much for joining the sleepout, I thought you were all extremely brave to do something like this; thank you for putting yourselves out there and doing something different! I hope you’re all very proud of yourselves, it was an amazing achievement.”
