Volunteering is an excellent way of meeting new people, expanding your skills and knowledge and gaining valuable experience for the future. If you have existing expertise that you can share, volunteering is an invaluable means to improve your community and give your time to worthwhile activities and groups.
Working in partnership with the Cheshire East Community Development team and local organisations, we will post all the upcoming opportunities as they arise.
If your organisation has a new volunteering opportunity you would like to promote or if you are interested in volunteering in your local area, please email: clerk@middlewich.org.uk for more information.
Middlewich Town Council and Middlewich Vision are pleased to announce the launch of the Summer Programme for children and young people. Pop over to our Childrens and Teenagers section of our website to see the full details. https://middlewich.org.uk/children-and-teenagers/Subject to funding and supplier availability, we will seek to add activities over the coming weeks.
Huge thanks must go to Middlewich & District Foodbank team for working with us on the programme. This Summer we have teamed up with Middlewich & District Foodbank to coordinate a new ‘Picnic Pack’ campaign in the Summer holidays. This campaign will be combined with most of our free activities in August. The main purpose of the Picnic Pack service is to allow those families who are struggling during the current circumstances to enjoy activities and refreshments without worry. Check each event for details. We would like to thank the team and volunteers at Middlewich & District Foodbank for their amazing help to get this up and running.
Free places are now available for children and young people eligible for free school meals. This opportunity is provided as part of the government’s expanded Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme being delivered across Cheshire East.
The scheme provides enjoyable activities and nutritious meals for primary and secondary school aged children who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
Children will be able to access hundreds of free sessions throughout the summer holidays, including specific provisions available for children with SEND or additional needs. The sessions will include a variety of fun activities, including sports, music, arts and other exciting opportunities to learn and develop skills, alongside a nutritious meal each day.
To view the activities and find out how to book a place, visit www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/FIS and clicking on the ‘things to do’ section or by searching ‘family information service events’. Any families who don’t have access to the internet are advised to contact a professional they are working with who can enrol on their behalf.

Cheshire East Council are working with local schools, voluntary and community organisations, and childcare providers to provide the HAF programme. The free places are funded by the Department for Education. Visit the government website for more information.
