ROOKERY MANOR BRIDAL INTRODUCES A MAJOR BRIDAL LINE INTO ITS ALREADY CLASSY COLLECTION

A Weston-super-Mare wedding venue has lined up a major league Spanish designer to complement the award winning fabrics dripping from the hangers. Rookery Manor Bridal, based at the hotel and wedding reception complex at Edingworth has brought designs by top Pronovias 2010 collection.

Rookery Manor will be officially launching the Pronovias collection at Rookery Manor’s Wedding Exhibition on Sunday, 24th January 2010. A selection of the gowns will be on display from 10:30am-5:30pm.

Pronovias is a new sobriety with pared-down shapes and minimal glitz which works its way nicely through the Pronovias collection; complementing Rookery Manor Bridal’s existing gown collection.

The Pronovias 2010 collection is full of fresh lines, travelling from the containment of elegance to the tenderness of purest fantasy; the Pronovias bride, is a bride who knows what she wants!

Pronovias bridal gowns looks fit for the Rookery Manor Bridal times.

Rookery Manor is supporting the following charities during 2010

We have taken the unusual step for 2010 to support two charities reaching far and wide and asking our clients to reach far into their pockets annd hearts! We understand that since our country's economic meltdown; many charities have suffered and need
extra support and funding.

Our two chosen charities are: The Diamond Appeal and Sue Ryder Care.


The Diamond Appeal is into its final stages and therefore our belief is to give this wonderful selfless charity one last push in 2010 before the charity distinguishes, although the embers will forever burn on.

Sue Ryder Care is a growing charity and needs prolonged support:

Sue Ryder Care: standardised paragraphs of information for use as needed (Nov09)

 

Sue Ryder Care is a leading third sector provider of end of life and long term-neurological care in the UK.  Founded in 1953 by Lady Ryder, the charity has a long and distinguished history of delivering care – and today operates hospices, neurological care centres, homecare and community based care services nationwide.    

Its vision - ‘Care that liberates lives’ - means that the charity cares for all of a persons’ needs, be they physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual, and is dedicated to helping people get the best from their lives, while living with chronic and life-limiting conditions and illnesses.

Each year, 600,000 people die in the UK, many of whom do not receive the end of life care they need to ensure they are able to die with dignity, free from pain and in the place of their choice. Three million people live in the UK with a progressive neurological condition and require care and support to live the life they want to. 

Sue Ryder Care’s specialist palliative care services are based around consultant led inpatient units and comprise day hospice facilities, specialist community nurses, social work and bereavement services, which integrate with the NHS and other organisations, including oncology units, GPs and social services. In 2007, its six hospices provided 1,800 episodes of in-patient care and 5,500 attendances at our day care hospice services.

Its neurological care services provide specialised long term care and support for people with conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington’s Disease, Brain Injury and Dementia, with most centres recognised as preferred providers of respite care by the MS Society. Admission is based on referral by NHS or Social Services and individual assessment by the charity.  Its eight neurological centres provide care for over 400 people, with a further 3,750 people receiving care through neurological day services.

Sue Ryder Care homecare provides social support for people with a range of care needs in the community.  The majority of the people the service cares for, often in partnership with other agencies, are adults with a high level of need, recognised following assessment by a social worker.  Sue Ryder Care provides 12,000 hours of homecare every week through these services.

Sue Ryder Care services are funded through a combination of statutory funding, personal funding and voluntary donations. In order to provide these services, which provided over four million hours of care last year, the charity relies on generous donations from the public and statutory funding from the government via local authorities and primary care trusts for commissioned services. 

Through innovation and research Sue Ryder Care works to improve standards in long-term and end of life care. The charity has received government recognition for improving end of life care for people with long-term conditions and its research partnership with the University of Nottingham is extending skills and knowledge across the health and social care sectors. Sue Ryder Care has piloted leading hospice at home services and holistic care management programmes for people with complex physical and psychological needs.

Sue Ryder Care is increasingly focusing on developing community-based services that support people to retain independence and live well in their own homes for as long as possible.  This is in response to a large percentage of people’s preference to be cared for at home and is inline with the government’s health and social care agenda.
