Cheshire Community Action

Cheshire Community Action is a local charity committed to providing funding, advice and support for projects designed to protect and enhance the rural – and increasingly the urban – communities of Cheshire. It is one of 38 Rural Community Councils covering every County in England.
Fair Share Trust has benefited people living in Ellesmere Port & Neston. All of the funding has been allocated and the team is working on a filmed evaluation of the programme. They have also focused on ensuring that as much as possible is done to help the projects that received funding to carry on. As such, the Local Agent is running a series of training events, offering the projects individual advice and guidance and will be holding a celebratory event in early 2013.
