Mature movers are a dance-based class for people aged 50+ and who want to stay fit and healthy for another half a century and is a great way to stay fit and healthy, meet new people and have fun!
The class is made up of low impact aerobic routines such as salsa and grapevine; there are no chair-based exercises.
The classes benefit participants physically, mentally and socially. No matter what range of movement participants have or their level of fitness, the class content is adapted to suit individual needs and provide enjoyment. Music and movement combinations stimulate the mind as well as the body being kept active throughout the session.
Classes take place at various venues across the town, including St Thomas', Stockton Heath and Hood Manor, Great Sankey. Contact the Wolves Foundation to find your nearest class.

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.

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?

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

The North West Air Ambulance Charity takes advanced healthcare to scene; reaching, treating and transferring patients to definitive care as quickly as possible and working collaboratively with our partners to ensure they are
transferred to the best treatment centre thus improving chances of survival and reducing the risk of long term injury.

Just as many critically injured patients would not survive without the service, your North West Air Ambulance Charity would not be here without you.

The service is funded by the generosity of the public through donations, fundraising activity, lottery membership and through our network of retail outlets, who provide vital charitable funding to keep our service flying.

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.
