Introduction from Cheshire East Council

Welcome to the Cheshire East Care Services Directory 2023/24. Cheshire East Council would like people living in Cheshire East to feel empowered to be as independent and healthy as they can. To help achieve this, it provides services and work in partnership with communities and organisations, to ensure a range of support is available locally. This Directory provides an overview of many of these options.

The Directory is complemented by ‘Live Well Cheshire East’ which is a web-based resource giving information and advice on support available locally such as groups and activities. Visit www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/livewell to find out more.

The Directory also includes information on the importance of staying healthy. This means thinking about the exercise you do (including how to prevent a fall) and what you eat, to maintain your independence for as long as possible.

Healthy lifestyles

Eating the wrong things, drinking more than you should, smoking and not exercising all have impacts on your health.

Making changes to your lifestyle will help you feel better and could prevent diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. It can also reduce your risk of suffering disability and frailty in later life.

The Council funds the ‘One You Cheshire East’ service to provide free lifestyle support to people. This includes a range of programmes to help you be smoke free, drink less, lose weight, eat well and move more.

For more information, visit the One You Cheshire East website www.oneyoucheshireeast.org or call 0808 164 3202.

The Council aims to achieve an open, fairer and environmentally friendly Cheshire East through the work that it does. To help deliver this, its work encompasses: protecting and supporting local communities including safeguarding adults at risk from abuse; working together with residents and partners to support people and communities to be strong and resilient; and reducing reliance on long-term care by improving services closer to home.
