Last year, Cheshire West and Chester Council piloted the first Let’s Talk site in Ellesmere Port Market, which is proving beneficial to the local community.
Let’s Talk sites offer people across the borough an opportunity to have a face to face conversation about their health and wellbeing and are also a place where people can go for practical advice and guidance.
This is a partnership initiative delivered together with a range of service providers such as Citizens Advice and ForHousing, community organisations such as Cheshire West Communities Together and Pathfinder, as well as the Council’s Adult Social Care team.
There are now four Let’s Talk sites across the borough located in Ellesmere Port, Blacon, Lache and more recently Winsford. Each one has a unique offer as they have been designed to meet the needs of local residents.
People’s health and wellbeing can be affected by lots of different issues including housing and financial challenges, that’s why it’s important for our residents to have access to the help they need through a friendly conversation.
Let’s Talk locations and opening times:
– Ellesmere Port Market – every Thursday from 10am to 12noon
– Matthew Henry Evangelical Church, Blacon – 3rd and 4th Friday of every month from 10am to 12noon
– Lache Community Centre – 1st, 2nd and 5th Friday of every month from 11am to 1pm
– Winsford Library – last Thursday of every month from 12.30pm to 2pm
