You can now find us on Bluesky, which is like Twitter used to be and MUCH better for our mental health. Click on the link below, or just search for Rimrose Valley in the app. We'd love to connect with like-minded groups across Sefton and beyond 💚 bsky.app/profile/rimros…

@AvantiWestCoast We are stuck on a train to London - are we at least entitled to a hot or cold drink?

GOOD NEWS! We've received a grant from @TNLComFund for our project Nature for HEART (Health, Engagement, Activity, Resilience, Togetherness). We'd love it if you joined our team volunteers to help design and deliver activities in 2026! More on that soon! TY #NationalLottery!

Good things are POTENTIALLY in the pipeline... we just need to will it to happen! Here's a quick update from us 🙏🙂🤞💚

And the final total is...... HUGE thanks to everyone who took part in this year's STEP-tember challenge. We SMASHED last year's total. If you didn't sponsor/donate, it's not too late. Here's the link: localgiving.org/fundraising/ST…

***BREAKING*** You've done it! That's TEN MILLION STEPS you've either walked or ran in STEP-tember... with over 5 days to go! Last year, we hit 10,686,384 in total... but it looks like we're on course to SMASH that this year. Donate here 👇 localgiving.org/fundraising/ST…

We've more than DOUBLED last week's total and stand at an incredible 7,941,494 steps! This means a little over 2,000,000 steps left to hit our 10,000,000 STEP-tember target! Can you help us hit 10,000,000? rimrosevalleyfriends.org/news/step-temb…

Our STEP-tember week 2 total is... 3,884,159! We're half way through the month and this is a fantastic amount. Do you think we can hit 10 million by Tuesday 30th?? Watch this space for an event coming up to help us all log more steps, together. localgiving.org/fundraising/ST…

What a great hour or so for our first ever Rimrose Readers session! We dodged the worst of the rain, ambled along a trail before reading an excerpt from The Old Ways, by Robert Macfarlane, together. It got everyone thinking about the origins of the paths we follow. 💚📚🚶‍♀️

STEP-tember week 1 total! Amazing contributions from Rimrose Runners, @MLHRunning as well as people's individual walks and runs, so well done everyone! Here's a reminder of the sponsorship link if you'd like to raise money for Rimrose Valley Friends: localgiving.org/fundraising/ST…

We visited @MLHRunning training session last night. Huge turnout and Andy is busy collating all the steps the club made to count them towards the 10,000,000 target. Please consider helping to raise funds for our charity via this link. Cheers! 🚶‍♂️🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️ localgiving.org/fundraising/ST…

***Calling all parents and pupils of Chesterfield and Sacred Heart*** We've noticed that the high schools have gone back and seen just how many pupils cross Rimrose to get to and from school! WE WANT THESE STEPS! 😆 If your child walks across Rimrose, link in the comments 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

2 DAYS TO GO until STEP-tember is back! We'd love you to take part to help us hit 10,000,000 steps in a month. Here's a quick video to explain how it works with links in the thread to more detailed instructions and the links you need. Please get involved 💚 🏃‍♂️ 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️
