Chester & North Wales IVC

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on July 2, 2009 1:32 PM

Cheshire and North Wales IVC is a friendly social club for professionals and graduates in the age range 21 to 40. It is informal and low cost and is simply a group of like minded people who want to have the opportunity of meeting others and partaking in similar activities.

All our events are organised by our members who contribute to a monthly programme which is sent out to everyone. We organise a wide variety of both social and sporting activities in and around Chester.

These range from theatre trips to dining out and from easy Sunday afternoon walks to weekends away e.g. Youth Hostelling. We regularly meet on Wednesday evenings, often at the Custom House pub in Watergate Street, Chester from around 9pm.

Cheshire Community Voice

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on January 23, 2008 8:55 AM

Our aim is to encourage the public serivce users and carers to participate in consultations and public engagement exercises on a variety of issues surrounding our Health and Social Care in Cheshire. We wholly believe that the people of Cheshire are the key to deciding what health and social care services are needed and how these should best be delivered. It is therefore essential that the public are given a say, and most importantly, heard, at every stage of the design, commissioning and delivery process. This allows the public bodies delivering our Health and Social Care services to make better-informed decisions and therefore improve the quality and delivery of these services.

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on November 30, 2007 11:42 AM

Mission statement: To engage, motivate and inspire young people who are struggling today towards brighter futures through holistic learning programmes today for a healthy tomorrow.
BYPP, formerly known as Blacon Young People's Project, which is part of Blacon Community Trust, was opened in 1993 and has been based at the Sports Pavilion on King George Playing Fields ever since.

Congratulations to VSO

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on October 15, 2007 11:43 AM

A digital camera has been presented to the Cheshire Branch of the Voluntary Service Overseas as a prize for being one of the first organisations to register on the newly-launched Cheshire Communities website.

Editor in Chief Eric Langton (right) is pictured making the presentation to VSO Cheshire chairperson Lynda Shuttleworth watched by Richard Day, principal of English at the Chester Language School (left) who hosted a social evening for returning volunteers and their families, attended by Chester's Lord Mayor Cllr Jim Latham.
The Cheshire Communities website not only lists contact details but also offers organisations the opportunity to put their own news and pictures online.
Eric Langton said: 'I hope that over the next few weeks the site will expand rapidly as all sorts of voluntary organisations, clubs, pressure groups, societies take advantage of lifting their online profiles.
'I am delighted that Voluntary Service Overseas won the camera prize after being drawn out of the hat from the first 20 organisations to register, and can put it to good use to get photographs of their activities onto the Cheshire Communities site.'
