There is an organisation called Home Start Congleton Borough and Macclesfield Outreach (pithy, isn't it?)
They're a charity which offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in local communities throughout the UK and with British forces in Germany and Cyprus.
They work by recruiting and training volunteers to visit families at home with at least one child under 5, offering informal, friendly and confidential support.
The volunteers go through a preparation course and are provided with all the information that they need to do their job. Obviously this is an excellent way to help good parents become great parents.
To cut to the chase, they're looking (as many organisations are) for volunteers to assist them in delivering this service. If you feel you can help out, then contact Maggie or Jenny on 01260 290290.
Welcome to my blog.
I was elected as Councillor for Macclesfield West in May 2008. I live in the centre of the ward with my Wife and Westie, and when I'm not a Councillor I'm a Scout Leader and I run a small consultancy business.
I'm equally at home cycling around the town as I am walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.
This blog is intended to give the residents of Macclesfield West an insight into the work that I am doing on their behalf. This could be better services and facilities for children and young people, or perhaps trying to achieve a better plan for the Macclesfield Town Centre redevelopment. At all times I'm keen on reducing costs and keeping council tax as low as possible.
The blog is intended to be little lighthearted at times, perhaps irreverent but never irrelevant. You're encouraged to comment on each post and have your say - it's a great way to debate the issues of the day.
How can I contact the Council?
