You may not have heard of the Frodsham, Helsby and Elton Partnership, which is now known as Frodsham, Helsby and Elton Together, but you will undoubtedly be familiar with its contribution to Frodsham.
The Partnership is one of seven in West Cheshire with people from different organisations and services who come together to help improve the health and wellbeing of our community. It is unique in having for the past two years, Iris Keating, as its Chair in a voluntary rather than professional role.
One of the most well known activities that was seed funded by the Partnership is Frodsham Bee Friends, the Thursday morning drop in at the Parish hall in Church Street where hot drinks and biscuits are served to anyone seeking lively conversation and companionship. Other initiatives include The Memory Café at Main Street Community Church, (see article) STAR, a bereavement peer support group, and “Meet and Eat” a more recent project bringing together men who are living alone to connect, learn basic cooking skills and enjoy eating together.
