1st-7th November is Befriending Week, being run by Befriending Networks.

The theme this year is "Supporting each other through meaningful connections."

Real human connection is at the core of our Befriending Service, where our wonderful Volunteer Befrienders provide face to face social visits to people in their own home.

To find out more about becoming a Volunteer Befriender please email [email protected].

We'd love to hear from you and talk with you about how you could can make a real difference in a person's life.

With approximately 871,000 deaths per year worldwide caused by loneliness alone, building meaningful social connections is more important than ever. The next post in our Befriending 101 series explores what the research says about how befriending and social connection can support wellbeing.

♥️Places Available - FREE Course!♥️

‼️ Each year in the UK, there are approx. 115,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. 70-80% of these occur at home. People use a defibrillator in only 9% of them. Knutsford has 42 defibrillators available for use by the public. One of the best places in the country!

🚑 Don't be caught unaware!

🆘 Learn CPR and how to use a defibrillator. Help save a life!

🏥 The KCFRT Heartstart course teaches you how to do CPR/chest compressions correctly, how and when to use an AED/defibrillator, how to put someone in the recovery position, how to manage life-threatening bleeds, and what to do if someone is choking. The course is FREE, lasts 2-2.5 hours, and we even give you a cuppa and a biscuit!☕️🫖🍪

We've had a cancellation so we now have PLACES AVAILABLE for Thursday 5th November 2026 at Knutsford Methodist Church.

Today, on International Stammering Awareness Day, we recognise and celebrate the voices of people who stammer.

Stammering is a difference in the flow of speech that affects people of all ages. It does not reflect a person's intelligence, confidence, or ability.

Everyone deserves the time, patience, and respect to express themselves in their own way.

💜 How you can help:

• Give the person time to finish what they want to say.
• Listen to what is being said, not how it is being said.
• Avoid finishing sentences or guessing words for them.
• Maintain natural eye contact and show you are listening.
• Be patient and avoid telling someone to "slow down" or "take breath".
• Create a calm, unhurried environment for conversations.
• Treat people who stammer with the same respect and understanding as anyone else.
• Remember that communication is about connection, not perfection.

Let's help create communities where every voice is heard, valued, and respected!

Need to get out and about? Register for Your Bus

🚌 You're eligible if…

The bus comes at 11am and you needed it at 10am! 😄

Sometimes the timetable just doesn't match your life. The bus is either too early, too late, or somehow always the wrong one entirely!

Simply select "limited public transport in my area" when you sign up and we'll take it from there. No questions asked, no need to explain yourself. If the timetable isn't working for you, that's all we need to know. 💙

You'll also see other eligibility options including being 80 or over, mobility issues, and being supported through benefits - just tick anything that applies to you! 😊

Free to join, always!
