Nantwich and Rural Care Community

10/11/2025

We’re proud to share that all five GP surgeries in Nantwich and Rural are also officially Veteran Aware!
This means we are committed to providing the best possible care and support for veterans and their families.

If you or someone you know has served in the Armed Forces, please let us know when you visit – we’re here for you.

At Mid Cheshire Hospitals, we encourage patients to 'say you served' so we can:

❤️ understand and meet your needs;
👋 link you with a Trust armed forces champion;
🔗 connect you with charities or other organisations that provide specific support.

Are you serving or have you or a member of your family ever served in the Armed Forces? If so, please tell a member of our staff.

More information is available at: https://www.mcht.nhs.uk/armedforces

To mark Befriending Week 2025 (1–7 November), we're proud to announce the launch of a new Befriending Network across the borough, aimed at tackling social isolation and loneliness through innovation, collaboration, and community spirit.

Befriending Week is the national campaign celebrating and raising awareness of befriending and the positive impact it has on individuals and communities.

The network is part of the Cheshire East Plan 2025-29 to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents, by enabling communities through strong and committed partnerships. This network will bring together partners from across all sectors to create a vibrant, dynamic forum for befriending services. The network will champion shared learning, coordinated support, and collaboration, whilst developing opportunities for residents to connect and thrive.

The virtual launch event will take place on Tuesday 25 November from 2pm to 3pm, and will showcase the network’s vision, introduce key partners, and invite organisations and individuals to get involved.

The network will build on existing services and community groups, offering a coordinated platform for befriending services to collaborate and bring opportunities to strengthen and grow befriending in Cheshire East.
