Some good news from Health Shield Friendly for you;
Health Shield Friendly Society has chosen The Wishing Well as its charity of the year and will support the group as it seeks to improve health and wellbeing across Cheshire.
The Wishing Well, which is based in Crewe, is dedicated to tackling health inequalities across all ages.
Employees are looking forward to the partnership that helps make real, lasting change for the residents of Crewe and the surrounding area.
Health Shield CEO Jacqui Carr said: “We are proud to name Wishing Well as our charity of the year, recognising the vital support they provide to individuals and families within our local community.
“Their commitment to improving health and wellbeing combined with practical, compassionate help, aligns closely with our own purpose as a mutual and the values we strive to deliver for our members every day.
“We look forward to working together to raise awareness, support their important work and make a meaningful difference to those who need it most.”
Health Shield has donated £5,000 towards the group’s Start Well service which is designed to help families with young children to give them the best possible start in life.
It will also help the charity to develop a wellbeing strategy to support those providing essential services to the community and offer them support with their PR and marketing.
Employees at Health Shield receive two days a year which they can dedicate to charitable causes and they plan to use this time to get involved with the charity’s activities and events all year round.
Wishing Well CEO Charles Maines said: “We’re very pleased to start our partnership with Health Shield and look forward to working together.
“We have been committed to tackling health inequalities since the charity was founded in Crewe in 2002. Despite progress these inequalities still affect too many people today.
“Our focus is on helping individuals and families to start well, live well and age well, and this partnership will enable us to extend that support even further within our community.
“Health Shield shares our commitment to improving lives and together we have a real opportunity to create lasting, positive change for people across Crewe and the surrounding areas.”
The support for The Wishing Well builds on Health Shield’s community involvement which already includes helping the Cheshire 100 and the Railway Benefit Fund.
