Another week of opportunity and a date for the diary in 2027!
Martin’s Moment – 16th October 2026
Another week of change at Room at the Inn. We’ve seen some successful move-ons from our supported accommodation into independent living, which is fantastic to see. At the same time, it’s always a little sad to say goodbye to some of the characters who have been part of our community as they move on to pastures new. We wish them all the very best on their onward journeys and hope they find a safe, secure and sustainable place to call home.
Last week, I mentioned that we had been nominated for the Charity / Community Impact of the Year Award at the Warrington Business Awards Plus event, which took place last night. We were delighted to be nominated and to have the opportunity to showcase the work we do to a wider audience. We didn’t take home the award this time, but we were delighted to see More Than Together recognised as the winner.
Nathan and Ian have done an unbelievable job in just a few short years, establishing their CIC and delivering much-needed support across our town and the surrounding area. Huge congratulations to you both! We look forward to continuing to work alongside you and seeing what you achieve in the years ahead.
Our new website is now a week old (www.roomattheinn.org.uk), and the feedback we’ve received has been fantastic. Members of the public, friends of the charity, supporters and partners have all been in touch with their thoughts and comments. A huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to have a look and share their feedback. It’s very much appreciated!
Finally, this week, we held a debrief with one of our closest partners, The Eric Moore Partnership, to reflect on our successful Gala Dinner and Dance, held last month. It was a great opportunity to look at what went well, what we could do better, and how we can build on the success of what was a fantastic evening.
We’ve also confirmed the date for next year’s event, giving us more time to plan and make it even better. So, get your diaries out and save the date: Saturday 9th October 2027. With World Homeless Day falling the following day, it’s another opportunity to bring people together to raise awareness and support the work we do.
Tickets and table bookings will open in the new year. We hope you’ll join us!
