Cheshire East residents who are in receipt of a social care budget or are considering using support services are being urged to attend a social care services exhibition.
Cheshire East Council’s Unlocking the Future 2011 road shows are being held to provide a one-stop-shop for adults with disabilities, and carers and families of adults with disabilities, who want to discover ways of improving their lives through innovative social care services.
Representatives from businesses and organisations that are involved in adult services - which can range from mobility and care services to leisure, health and wellbeing opportunities – will be on hand to explain what they have to offer.
The road shows, which consist of a series of exhibitions, will tour Cheshire East throughout March.
The dates of the Unlocking the Future 2011 road shows are as follows:
- Wednesday, March 16, at Congleton Leisure Centre, in Congleton, 10am – 5pm;
- Thursday, March 17, at Victoria Community Centre, in Crewe, 10am – 7pm;
- Tuesday, March 22, at Wilmslow Leisure Centre, in Wilmslow, 10am – 7pm;
- Thursday, March 24, at Macclesfield Leisure Centre, in Macclesfield, 10 – 5pm.
For more information, call on 0300 123 5500 or email unlockingthefuture@cheshireeast.gov.uk
The 2011 exhibitions follows on from the success of Unlocking the Future 2010, which saw the launch of Cheshire East Council’s revolutionary Empower Card – a pre-loaded debit card for people who receive a personal budget for social care.
Councillor Roland Domleo, Cabinet member with responsibility for adult services, said: “This series of road shows is part of a push by Cheshire East Council to improve the quality of life for all of our residents by giving them more choice and enhancing access to adult services.”
