💚🚀 Please HELP spread the word and SHARE this post!

Today Team Rocket had planned to visit Carlisle and it's surrounding areas dropping leaflets for the show.

Unfortunately, the leaflets (which were already delayed) arrived and they were somebody's else's leaflets. 🤦‍♂️ So we've had to delay until they can replace them!

So for now, please help us out by sharing this post!

Thank you! 📨

As a retro company, it's only right we shout out another retro company right?

This dinner time we popped down to Cafe Retro - Blackpool to show some support and was completely blown away, just look at the size of this breakfast! The food was absolutely incredible, and the decor was like taking a trip back in time.

Retro in style, and retro in nature a revisit is definitely a must. If your local to the Blackpool/south shore area make sure to pop in and show some support!

Overnight there was a huge fire in Blackpool which has affected a couple of small businesses who are at the heart of Blackpool's community and help those who are in need.

Please, if you can, give this post a read and a share, as every share counts and so does every penny to help them get back on their feet and helping more families.

❤️ Community Recovery Fundraiser – Waterloo Road Fire (Blackpool)
Following the major commercial building fire on Waterloo Road, Blackpool, on Friday, 6 February 2026 (23:30), we’re launching a community fundraiser to support everyone affected.

This has hit local community spaces hard — including Smart Mart (and neighbouring Smart Play Blackpool) and South Shore Pitstop Cafe. South Shore Pitstop is known for being a warm, welcoming place with the mantra “arrive as a customer, leave as a friend”, and Smart Mart helps families access essentials through brand-new, ex-display, and pre-loved items at the cheapest rates you’ll find in town.

✅ Donate here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donation-form/waterloo-road-fire-community-fundraising-for-thoese-effected
📣 If you can’t donate, please share — it really helps.

Where the money will go:
All donations will support practical recovery needs arising from the fire, and any remaining funds will be split equally between Smart Mart (Including Smart Play Blackpool) and South Shore Pitstop Community Cafe to help them rebuild and continue supporting the community.

No processing fees are charged by our fundraising platform, so all funds will be used to support those affected (Unless you optionally donate to help the platform continue to support fundraising efforts like ours).

Please also help by keeping comments kind and avoiding speculation while the situation is assessed.

Thank you for showing up for Blackpool. ❤️

FOR THOSE AFFECTED: Please contact us if you need support, and we will do what we can to help you. Our amazing community is already coming together to help get things in place for you all.

Solo Parents United CIC is a Community Interest Company registered with Companies House. We are fully insured. This fundraiser is being shared in good faith to support those affected by the Waterloo Road fire. Funds will be handled transparently and distributed as stated on the fundraiser page (in line with regulations concerning donations and fundraising).
