THE MAYOR’S CHARITIES
The Town Mayor chooses local causes to support with their fundraising efforts over the course of their Mayoral year and will host a variety of fundraising events to raise funds for their chosen charities. All fundraising events are open to all, and all have the dual aims of providing a great community event whilst raising as much money for the good causes as possible.
JUST DROP IN
Just Drop In is a counselling service for young people. At the moment it delivers services to those aged 11-18, but plans to expand to 25. There is outreach into schools and there are two evenings a week in the office in King St. It is invaluable for those youngsters really abandoned by traditional mental health services.
THE WELCOME
The Welcome is centred around the social enterprise cafe on Longridge but reaches across Knutsford. It provides the meals on wheels service and they organise workshops and training in many strands such as beauty therapies, English as a second language, boxing for young people, woodcraft and more. The Welcome coordinates the Bread and Butter Thing hub in Knutsford and they also provide advice and signposting in the community.
