Helpful Organisations and Information
Did you know that FIS hold information on over 1000
services and organisations in East Cheshire and surrounding
areas?
And that the only place to get
free, impartial, comprehensive details of them all is
from the Family Information Service? - so please ensure you contact
us first!
We can search for the right information to suit your families
needs by miles radius from your postcode; or the area which
you live or work. We can also ensure that the information is
specific for you, for example, if your child has particular needs,
by subject area (for example bullying or benefits) or by type of
group.
All we need from you is your name and address (and email
address, if you have one), the ages of your children, and what area
in East Cheshire you would like us to search. Call us on
0300 123 5033, email us at fis.east@cheshireeast.gov.uk or
complete our
Looking for Information Form.
Alternatively, you can also search our Family
Service Directory, where you can search by topic (for example,
Families, Housing, Advice, etc.) or by service name.
