  Boughton Keep Fit Street Session

  by Jenny Leigh-Smith, over 4 years ago
  

  Every Sunday at 5pm it's Kathy's Keep Fit in our street.

  A trained Fitness Instructor, Kathy leads a 45min aerobic session, with music, to all who want to join in from our street community.

  Keeping a safe distance apart, we follow (the best we can) with jumping jacks, squats, grapevines, spotty dogs and more besides.

  Heart rates are up and it's also lots of fun.

  It's just one of the ways our local street community has come together to share some time, some laughter and raise morale

  Stay At Home Tarporley - A Community Staying Together

  by Clerk to Tarporley Parish Council , over 4 years ago
  

  The Stay at Home Tarporley Campaign launched by the Tarporley Parish Council sprang into action even before Lock-down was officially announced. Three members of the Council operated a Helpline for 7 days 9am-6pm to support vulnerable and older people. The response to a call for more volunteers overwhelmed The Council and within days 100 volunteers from a small community of around 1600 households were available for duty.

  Now operating a Team Leader shift system, with 21 shifts and around 40 volunteers the Helpline offers a range of services from food and prescription deliveries to a friendly chat. So far nearly... Continue reading

  Local Mum Sets Up Food Bank in Kelsall Village

  by Kelsall Food Bank, over 4 years ago
  

  A local mum and teacher has set up the Kelsall Food Bank in direct response to the Covid 19 crisis.

  At the beginning of the crisis she joined a team of volunteers that were organised and deployed to help those members of Kelsall who are self-isolating or who are struggling for whatever reason during this difficult time. On her travels, and armed with a bundle of leaflets, she set out to visit 3 streets in Kelsall. This trip was to change everything! Through chatting to one local resident it was clear that they were not going to eat that week... Continue reading

  by emzie84, over 4 years ago
  

  Not long after Christmas i asked both my young sons if we could sort through their old toys - give the good ones they don't use to charity shop etc.... my 5 year old (was 4 at the time) said "but i like my toys so i want to keep them" I told him that he was lucky because he had a nice Christmas and got loads of new gifts, but some children didn't even have heating or a meal let along any gifts.... he then went on to say "OK mum they can have the toys and we can...

  No homeless in Chester....... being fed each day by artisan food outlets, churches and others.

  by Steve@Seed, over 4 years ago
  

  Many organisations and individuals had been working together including businesses, social enterprises, faith groups, volunteers to house the homeless.

  Somehow the Covid19 allowed every homeless person to be accomadated and fed, predominantly by local artisan food outlets, every day.

  A mention to Soul Kitchen playing a leading role in this and the organisations they work with.

  No homeless in Chester....... being fed each day by artisan food outlets, churches and others.

  Ellesmere Port Help Scheme

  by CllrNicole, over 4 years ago
  

  The Ellesmere Port Help scheme was set up by the local MP and Councillors as soon as lockdown began. Since then, it has been able to support hundreds of residents who are struggling to get supplies and prescriptions.

  Many residents are facing financial hardship or have to self-isolate because of the coronavirus. The Ellesmere Port Help scheme delivers food packages, along with other supplies such as toiletries, cleaning products, pet foods and baby packs, direct to their doors.

  Our volunteers work tirelessly – shopping, packing and delivering much needed parcels across the town and funding has been received from Essar... Continue reading

  Neston Angels #NeverMoreNeeded

  by Neston Community Youth Centre, over 4 years ago
  

  For the past 7 weeks, Neston Community Youth Centre have continued to support local people and as of today we have registered almost 600 local people aged from 3 to 101 to receive support with shopping, prescription deliveries, contact calls, foodbank and much more.

  None of this would be possible without the support of Ellesmere Port and Neston Community Transport, West Cheshire Foodbank and an incredible team of 137 volunteers.

  Last week we provided 'Goody Boxes' for carers working in Local Care Homes.

  Anyone in the CH64 postcode area can get in touch for support at www.nestoncyc.org.uk or on 0151... Continue reading
