MRANG's MISSION

To seek asylum is an act of great courage and acute desperation. MRANG’s fundamental purpose is to provide a loving, family environment for women refugees, asylum seekers and their children where they can receive practical, holistic and effective support. This support will help to transform the lives of women who have undergone great suffering and unjust treatment, helping them to re-establish their dignity and self-esteem while recognising their uniqueness and diversity.

New Leaf Women's Turnaround is a PSS service that has been developed with Cheshire's 'New Leaf Partnership' to support women across Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Warrington who have come into contact with the Police through low level offences.

Working alongside Cheshire Police and a whole host of other local partners we will engage with women delivering targeted and structured support that helps to prevent further involvement with the criminal justice system and ultimately moves them women along the path to employment. This service is all about giving women another chance, helping them build their confidence and showing them they really can make something of themselves.

New Leaf is a Building Better Opportunities project funded by the European Social Fund and the National Lottery, through the Big Lottery Fund.

Newton-le-Willows Family and Community Association (registered charity 1053999) have successfully been running a busy Community Centre since 1987. With a small team of paid staff, the Centre has since its creation, been managed and staffed by local people, for local people. It is a Community Centre in the true sense of the word. People of all ages, abilities and from all walks of life play an active role within the Centre. The Volunteers involvement promotes personal development, self-esteem and self-confidence.
Sure, volunteering is great for your community and makes the world a better place; but could it actually make a positive impact on your life, too?

Whether you want to improve your CV with new skills, meet new people or just feel good about yourself, Newton Community Centre can give you a volunteering opportunity that could change your life for the better.

We meet once a month at Croft Memorial Hall on the 4th Saturday of the month, from 10:00 to about 16:00 and through the variety of topics covered by our speakers we feel that members will have doors opened and horizons widened so that they may expend their expertise and enjoyment.

In addition, members have a lot to offer each other and are always prepared to help newcomers master new skills. Whether you are a newcomer to our crafts or an old hand who has moved areas or guilds or perhaps only now feel the need to become involved, you are equally valuable to our Guild.

As a beginner in these crafts we welcome you as a sign of growth of interest in textile arts. If you are already experienced we know that we will be able to glean something from you

NWESSR has been in existence for over 25 years. During this time, homes have been found for hundreds of Springer waifs and strays. The work of the charity is forever ongoing.

There are many reasons why a dog finds its way into the care of NWESSR:

Some are made homeless due to an owners death or illness.
There are always strays who do not have any form of identification; wherever possible we try to unite lost dogs with their families but sadly this cannot always be the case and they are found new homes.
Others are given up because of various domestic crises or they are not wanted any more, perhaps because of long term illness and expense – veterinary bills can be considerable.
Some will come from situations where the owner finds they cannot cope with what is a very energetic breed; Springers look cute, especially when they are puppies, but they can be hard work!
Most distressing are the cases of physical cruelty and neglect – traumatised dogs are homed with people who are very experienced with the breed. Have the time, the patience and the understanding, to undo the damage caused by ignorance and irresponsibility.
Whatever the reason NWESSR is here to help.

Considerable care is taken in placing dogs. Families with children under 6yrs will not be offered dogs at all. Families with young children, will not be offered dogs, whose temperament is unknown or questionable. Fortunately, many of our dogs are happy-go-lucky and good natured. Perhaps one of them is just the right companion for you.

NWESSR is recognised by the Kennel Club and is listed in the Kennel Club Rescue Directory.

NWESSR is a registered charity, and this assists in raising much needed funds to continue our work. The spiralling costs of kennelling , veterinary care and specialist training are an ever present concern to us.

We're the Parkinson's charity that drives better care, treatments and quality of life. Because we're here, no one has to face Parkinson's alone. Volunteers across the country run support groups and branches where they offer support, activities and exercise for people affected by Parkinson's.

The aims of the Group are to work with the local community and partner agencies to conserve, enhance and record the wildlife value of the area.

We are a newly formed resident's association in Penketh & Cuerdley. We are a collection of resident's that have come together to form the association in order to represent and promote the intereses of all residents living in our area. To promote a safer and stronger community we plan on holding events with the residents to promote a sense of pride in the areas that we call home. To help inform residents of how they can make a difference in the areas they live. To include the youth of these areas so they too can feel that they have a say and contribute to the community. All of our events will be organised, managed and run by volunteers who are members or associate members of the association.
