Crunch

Crunchy
Leaves crunch under
My feet as I walk down
The autumn-filled
Street - crunch!

And I'm back! You can once again find me in Post Community News, with my poem Crunch!

Usually, I'd mention about somewhere you can pick up a copy of Trafford Post. However, that's not possible this month. Due to a lack of funding from the Trafford area, they've been unable to print this month's edition. So, make sure to head over and support them as much as you can!

🗞️ We’ve made it into the newspaper this month! 🎉

Check out the Trafford Post to see what we got up to at the Emergency Services Open Day at Sale Fire Station! 🚒🚑🚓

Did you know there are around 38,000 carers in Manchester? Carers are people who look after a relative, partner, or friend due to their physical or mental illness, disability, frailty, or addiction. Lots of people don’t realise they count as a carer; they just see themselves as someone’s partner, parent, son, daughter, or friend. You might be a carer yourself and not realise it!
