The Children’s Family Trust, which was established in 1945 and has an office at Nostell Priory, helps place some of the 65,000 children in public care in the UK in a stable and secure home with foster carers.

As part of its birthday celebrations the branch held a Macmillan coffee morning to raise awareness of its work while raising more than £200 to help cancer patients and their families.

It is also sponsoring a Nostell Miners Welfare football player.
