Connect.

Enable.

Support.

We connect and enable charities and not for profit organisations across Cheshire, Warrington and Halton to reach more people and have greater impact. We do this by connecting the skills from the local business sector, offered for free, to these organisations across the area.

Established in 2013 by the former Lord Lieutenant, David Briggs, our work has a positive impact on thousands of individuals and groups that rely on the charities we support. Through our values of collaboration, understanding and passion we can all make a real and lasting difference across the county of Cheshire.
