Story

Across Cheshire West and Chester, families are facing mounting challenges. We are working with the council to ensure the most pressing needs are met. In Chester and Ellesmere Port, Koala North West provides in-home support to parents, helping them manage routines, build resilience, and strengthen family bonds. In Winsford and Northwich, Home Start offers vital guidance to families with young children, empowering them to cope with everyday struggles and build positive home environments.

The need is urgent.

30% of children aged 0–15 in Cheshire West and Chester are living in relative poverty.
