Going strong since 2005

Rossy Rays has been going since 2005. We started out as a swimming club, running regular sessions at Marl Pits pool in Rawtenstall every Sunday afternoon — and we're still doing exactly that, with some members who've been with us from the very beginning.

Since then, we've spread our wings. We now run regular cycling sessions on the track at Marl Pits, snow-tubing sessions at the ski slope in Rossendale, and we've got our own club house in the coach house next to the fabulous Whitaker Museum in Rawtenstall.

All our sessions are fully inclusive — open to members with special needs, their siblings, family, and friends. Everyone's welcome. Always.

HAF Programme

HAF stands for Holiday Activities and Food — a funded programme that helps children and families make the most of the school holidays.

We've been proud to run HAF sessions alongside Rossendale Leisure Trust during Easter, summer, and other school holidays in recent years. They've been a real success and we're hoping to keep them coming.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for news of upcoming HAF sessions.

Fundraising

£100,000+

raised by our brilliant fundraising cyclists over the years

Rossy Rays is entirely self-funded, and running our sessions doesn't come cheap. We're incredibly grateful for the support of local funders — and our remarkable fundraising cyclists, who've pedalled their way to over £100,000 for the club.

If you'd like to help, there are two easy ways to get involved:
