Strategic Plan

Cheshire Community Action has been serving Cheshire, Halton and Warrington for over 80 years, helping to develop sustainable and vibrant rural communities where people want to live and work.

The Team

We have a very loyal team with extensive experience of working with the rural communities of Cheshire. They are dedicated to giving all of our customers one hundred percent support and guidance.

Meet Them

To this end, we are involved with a wide range of projects and issues, all of which are becoming increasingly important as the quality of rural life, and the services provided for rural communities, come increasingly under threat.

Cheshire Community Action is one of 38 Rural Community Councils of England. Since the 1930s the work of Rural Community Councils has expanded to include most issues that touch rural areas.
