The challenges facing our community are real and growing. Too many people in Cheshire are struggling with issues that deeply impact their daily lives.

That's why everything we do matters. Our befriending schemes combat loneliness by connecting people with genuine companionship. We keep grocery shopping affordable so families don't have to choose between essentials. Our transport service helps people get where they need to go, to appointments, to see loved ones, to stay connected.

Each service we provide addresses a critical need in our community. We're here to support the people of Cheshire, every day, in every way we can.

7 in 10 adults feel lonely most or some of the time.

This is why we introduced our befriending service. We offer telephone support for adults in Cheshire who are unable to leave the house, and for those who would prefer face-to-face contact, we run several warm welcome groups locally.
