Making a difference in Cheshire
By helping businesses and not for profit organisations work together, exchanging skills and volunteering their time, they are making a real difference to communities across Cheshire. We also work directly with Chief Executives of Cheshire charities, providing them with opportunities to develop their skills which in turn benefits the charities they work for.
With our support the charities and not for profit organisations we work with are able to reach more people, increase their effectiveness and drastically improve their impact.
