*National Volunteers' Week: Make a difference during recovery*
Volunteer role that really makes a difference
This National Volunteers' Week, we're not only taking the opportunity to say a massive thank you to all the volunteers who currently support us, but highlighting a new service that helps people in Cheshire East after a hospital stay.
The first few weeks at home are crucial for recovery, but not everyone has family or friends nearby to help with everyday tasks. This is where our new volunteer service steps in. We match volunteers with people who need support for around six weeks. This could include:
* *Shopping and errands*
* *Pet care*
* *Light housework*
* *Companionship*
* *Help attending appointments*
These little things can make a big difference in someone's physical and mental well-being.
*Focus on our communities:*
Our service focuses on discharges from Macclesfield and Crewe Leighton hospitals, with volunteers supporting people in their own homes across Cheshire East.
*Interested in volunteering?*
If you're 18 or over and passionate about helping others, we'd love to hear from you! We'll conduct an enhanced DBS check, but having a criminal record doesn't necessarily disqualify you.
*Join us!*
Email volunteersupport@cheshireeast.gov.uk or call Helena or Alex on 01625 374050 for a chat.
*Together, we can make a real difference in people's lives!*

D Day photo
As we mark #D-Day 80, we remember those who fought for our freedom.
Thank you to the veterans of D-Day, whose heroic service helped liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny, ensuring our peace and freedom.
During June, events are taking across the borough to ensure the heroic stories of D-Day live on in a new generation.

Review of supported local bus services
The last bus service review was undertaken in 2017 and much has changed in that time. This review looks for opportunities to encourage more bus use and get more services operating commercially, tweak services to improve performance and passenger uptake and get better value out of what the Council is spending.
