Kindness Umbrella Walk and Walking Exhibition

Posted on by Aisha Siddiqa

Pupils from Rhyddings and The Hollins took to the streets of Accrington with their beautifully designed, kindness-themed umbrellas. Working alongside our resident artist, Zara Saghir, they created 106 unique kindness umbrellas in memory of Mabel, who passed away at the remarkable age of 106.

The project concluded with a walking exhibition through the town, celebrating creativity, compassion, and community spirit. Along the route, pupils distributed kindness gift boxes and heartfelt messages to members of the local community, spreading joy and honouring Mabel’s inspiring legacy.

Rhyddings Secondary School is organising Hobby Clubs for pupils to discover a hobby they love and they can enjoy it with other pupils. This will build their character and personality while having fun!

We’re raising funds to give every pupil at Rhyddings the chance to explore a hobby they love-from art to music, sports to chess.

Your donation will help us buy resources, create inclusive spaces, and make sure every child can take part.

A Tribute to a Legend of a Human Being: MABEL

Posted on by Aisha Siddiqa

It is with truly heavy hearts that we share some very sad news. Our much-loved Let’s Be Legend, Mabel, has sadly passed away at the incredible age of 106.

Mabel has been a cherished part of the Let’s Be story since its very beginning in 2016. She was adored by our pupils, who were captivated by her warmth, her wonderfully funny stories, and the wisdom she so generously shared. We feel incredibly privileged to have spent such precious time with her, learning from her life, her laughter, and her kindness.

Mabel’s legacy will live on in everything we do, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the joy of knowing her.

In tribute, all Let’s Be activities this year will be dedicated to Mabel, and we will be launching a special initiative in her honour.

Mabel – 1919 to 2026

         

And so the story came to a beautiful end….

ROYAL NAWAABS & TRAFFORD CENTRE 

Our final “I AM Inspired and Motivated” activity of 2025 came to an epic conclusion! The team from Rhyddings enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Trafford Centre for some well-deserved retail therapy, followed by a buffet meal at the newly opened and exclusive Royal Nawaab Pyramid Restaurant.

Royal Nawaab Pyramid brings a world-class banqueting experience to the North West, and our pupils were able to indulge in centuries-old recipes beautifully blended with modern elegance.

From the pictures you can tell they all had a great time!

NEXT STOP – 2026!!!
