💛 Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?

On Tuesday this week it was the usual monthly Ruddi's Retreat - Providing Holidays From The Heart business networking at Ruddi’s By Ruddi’s Retreat (Ruddi's Cafe) in Slaithwaite, Huddersfield.

Each month we meet up chat away and while we're getting to know each other better plus find out about one another's businesses, we create something magical and yummy with the help of Vicki from Ruddi's Retreat.

The Ruddi's Retreat Rockstars Networking is the first Tuesday of each month and it's always food related in some way.

With this month's focus being on Childhood Cancer the monthly theme is 'GO GOLD' for Ruddi's Retreat, in the process, raising awareness for the charity. Wherever possible the campaign also raises much needed funds to help them support families in need of respite care and time out to just be a family.

We made GOLD topped cupcakes💛🧁 . One for Janet and one for Alex back in the office.

If you're a business in the local area, why not get the monthly networking dates in your diary now and come along to next month's to see what it's all about.

You can find details and how to book here - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ruddis-rockstars-monthly-business-networking-tickets-1988910697436

Hope you like our creations.

Janet has also set up a Just Giving page to help raise funds from her impending sailing trip around the Greek islands later this month - https://www.justgiving.com/page/social-progress-go-gold-ruddisretreat

Guess the nautical miles to win Afternoon Tea for two at Ruddi's cafe.

💛 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 𝗠𝗘 𝗚𝗢 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗨𝗗𝗗𝗜’𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 💛

This one means a lot to me.

In September, I’m swapping the Yorkshire hills for the Greek Islands and setting sail! ⛵

We’ll actually be sailing for longer than September, but as it’s 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵, it felt like the perfect time to turn our adventure into a fundraiser for Ruddi's Retreat - Providing Holidays From The Heart and their 𝗚𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻.

Yes… I know. Someone has to do it! 😂

But behind the sailing, sunshine and adventure is something much more important.

I’m raising money to support 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿, and I’m hoping you’ll help me.

When a family is dealing with childhood cancer, life can suddenly become about hospital appointments, treatment, uncertainty and worry.

The things we can take for granted — laughing together, getting away, spending time as a family and making memories — become incredibly precious.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗶’𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲💛

They give families the chance to step away from hospital and simply 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆.

Family has always been incredibly important to me. I was lucky growing up to have a loving family and parents who worked incredibly hard to give us a happy, stable childhood.

I know not everyone gets that same experience. So I want to turn my little sailing adventure into something that can make a genuine difference to families facing something no child or parent should ever have to face.

🎯 𝗠𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 £𝟱𝟬𝟬 — 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁!

And I’ve added a bit of fun…⛵

𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗘 & 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗡𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗘’𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗟!🏆

Whether it’s £5, £10, £20 or more, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 💛

It’s not really about my sailing. It’s about helping a family create a happy memory when life may feel anything but happy.

📅 SEPTEMBER CONTENT INSPIRATION IS HERE! 📸

Planning your social media content for September? Don’t just stare at a blank calendar wondering what on earth to post… 😅

There are plenty of key dates and events throughout the month that can give your content a little inspiration.

Here are a few to get you started:

🌍 5 September – International Day of Charity
🏴‍☠️ 19 September – International Talk Like a Pirate Day
🌱 2 September – Start of Fairtrade Fortnight
🍂 23 September – Autumn Equinox
🍽️ 26 September – British Food Fortnight
🥪 28 September – World Marmite Day

And of course, September is World Su***de Prevention Month & Childhood Cancer Awareness Month — an important opportunity for relevant businesses and organisations to share appropriate, supportive content and signpost people towards help.

But remember: you don't need to post about every single awareness day.

Choose the dates that genuinely connect with your business, your audience and what you have to say. That's when these dates become useful content rather than just… content for content's sake.

Alongside our Vicki, Social Progress were founding members of of Rockstars scheme..! and just look at the family feedback we have received due to ther support.

I just wanted to let you know we have left the caravan this morning. It was getting too hot for Sophia so we have brought her home. We have honestly had the best time and the relief from reality was brilliant.

You guys have made a massive difference for us and it gave us some reality.

Thanks again for this.

💻 Your website should work as hard as you do! 💪

Your website is often the first place a potential customer goes when they want to find out more about your business.

So if it’s looking a little tired, difficult to navigate, slow, or simply doesn’t reflect what you actually do anymore… it might be time for a rethink.

At Social Progress, we design and build websites that are created around your business, your customers and your goals.

From a complete new website to refreshing an existing one, we can help with:

✨ Modern, professional design
📱 Mobile-friendly layouts
🧭 Clear, easy-to-use navigation
🎯 Content and calls to action that guide visitors
🔍 SEO-friendly foundations
🛠️ Websites that are easy to manage and update
Because a good website isn't just about looking nice.

It needs to tell your story, build trust and turn visitors into customers.

If your website isn't doing that, let's have a chat. 👋
