Cheshire Connect matches the skills and expertise of local businesses and professionals, kindly offered for free, with the needs of the voluntary and community sector. Working together, we are creating more successful and sustainable voluntary organisations. Cheshire Connect is good for businesses, great for charities, and even better for those served by the voluntary sector.

Your local Cheshire Connect provider will visit you to discuss the ways in which you can get involved, the skills that your business can offer and the level of commitment you would like to make. It’s up to you how much time you donate. Every bit helps! Your Cheshire Connect business connector then matches your skills with a suitable charitable request. If you are happy with the match and wish to support that charity then your Cheshire Connect connector will arrange a meeting between you and the charity. Once the scope of your support is agreed, your Cheshire Connect connector will keep a 'watching brief' in the background and subsequently, collect your feedback to evaluate the benefits of the collaboration.
