Rochdale's Jolly Josh Centre, a haven for children with complex needs and physical disabilities, is about to shine even brighter this festive season, thanks to the generosity of Rochdale building contractor, H Bell and Sons. In a heart-warming gesture, H Bell and Sons has gifted Jolly Josh a magnificent Christmas tree, bringing joy and holiday spirit to the hearts of all the children and families who call the centre a home from home.
