Connected Communities Social Franchise opportunities

Cheshire East has partnered with a range of churches, community centres and other settings to create our Connected Communities Social Franchise and host a range of activities and support services closer to where people live.

Each setting delivers services tailored for their community, from coffee mornings, computer classes and line dancing, to learning a language, sharing a problem and support for stroke sufferers – there’s something for everyone!

We’ve provided support to the settings listed below to enhance their digital offer, and if you’re looking to start your own group then the Centres listed below may also be able to provide free room hire – contact them to find out more.
