The Nantwich Buddies is a volunteer group set up by RedShift Radio to support the “Response” and “Recovery” phase of Covid-19.

​

At the beginning of lock down, RedShift Radio had to abruptly stop preparations for our long -awaited relaunch on 1st April as a Community Podcast Network (previously we were broadcasting 70+ hours of live online radio).

​So, to keep us busy and make good use of our strong community network, we swung into action and set up a volunteer support network to help households that needed to isolate.

To ask for Buddies help please call the Cheshire East People Helping People team on 0300 123 5034. They will assess your needs and filter you to the appropriate organisation, of which Nantwich Buddies is one.

​

ADCA provides welfare support to vulnerable and socially isolated adults and older people and their carers within Audlem and District, promoting social inclusion, community participation and independence.

We are based in the Audlem Public Hall Annexe.

• We provide a Day Club, a Lunch Club and a Coffee Club every week
• We run a Friday Fun Games afternoon twice a month — open to all ages
• We offer a Befriending Service to people who are isolated
• We hold a twice monthly Carers’ Support Group and organise carers’ breaks
• We run a voluntary Medical Transport Service to take people to GP, clinic and hospital appointments

We are always looking for more volunteers to join us in our work!

Coronavirus Home Support Services :

We have been providing support to local residents who may need help, are self-isolating or live alone and whose family, friends or neighbours are unable to help. For those people needing support it is important that you get it from people you know or trust.

During the last 8 months of the Covid-19 outbreak our volunteers have been helping to cover the areas of Wrenbury and its surrounding parishes.

Our volunteers are all registered and checked and medical transport drivers DBS checked. We are working closely with Cheshire East Council and Cheshire Voluntary Services.

WE CAN HELP YOU WITH:

• Prescription collections
• Shopping & goods
• Posting letters
• A friendly telephone chat
• Putting you in contact with meal suppliers
• Medical Transport Scheme to get you to a Medical Centre or Hospital (eligibility tested)

We want to support our local businesses and ensure their long term future within our community. We will be using local providers where we can.

If you don’t have anyone close by to help and are in need of assistance or are a carer who needs further support at this time, then please do contact:
