Welcome to
Windyway Trust

We are a Macclesfield based Charity supporting the work of Windyway Animal Rescue  Centre and The Search and Rescue dogs of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Teams.

Welcome to Windyway Trust

We are dedicated to easing the suffering of dogs, cats, and all animals requiring care. We achieve this by providing and maintaining essential facilities like kennels, catteries, refuges, and animal hospitals to shelter unwanted animals, treat those who are sick or have been mistreated, and find them loving new homes. To further these goals, the Trustees may, at their discretion, allocate all or part of the charity’s capital.

The Trust was formed in February 2005 and consists of 4 Trustees.

Latest news

The wait is finally over! We are absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of Windystock 2026. After the incredible success of previous years, we are heading back to the beautiful countryside of Macclesfield for another unforgettable day of live music, community spirit, and summer fun—all in aid of our furry friends at the Windyway Trust.
2025 has been a landmark year for Windyway Trust. Discover how we are celebrating our 20th birthday and meet the lovely animals looking for a fresh start in our latest Winter Newsletter.
We’re excited to announce that The Button Warehouse has just released an additional 12 tickets for this exciting event. If you’d like to come, tickets are available at the Windyway Trust Shop at 68 Chestergate.
Are you redecorating, downsizing, or simply having a long-overdue clear-out? We all have that one piece of furniture that’s served us well but no longer fits our space or style. It could be a sturdy wardrobe, a beloved armchair, or a dining table that’s hosted countless family meals. Before you consider the hassle of selling it online or the expense of sending it to the tip, we’d like to offer a third, more rewarding option.
The forecast is looking great, the gazebos are ready, and the raffle prizes are waiting! We’re thrilled to announce that our much-anticipated Windyway Open Day is happening this Sunday, 24th August, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

Karen is a volunteer at the shops and has been sewing almost all her life! She has also been upcycling and reworking textiles and other found items to create some incredible pieces. She was kind enough to share these projects made from the shop recycling! 
The jacket was made from an old throw and the skirt from unsold jeans. Her artistry is amazing and we’re so excited to see her work down our runway for the Windyway Trust: Reworked Fashion event!

We are still accepting designers, models, stylists and etc! If you would like to join or get more info please email Sumnima at l.i.m.b@hotmail.com. #FashionEvent #Designers #Sewing #Upcycle #Recycle #fashion #Macclesfield #WindywayTrust #ReWork4Windy
