Local businesses and organisations which are involved in public sector adult services are being encouraged to participate in a series of exhibitions.
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 solutions and services.
The road shows, which consist of a series of exhibitions, will tour Cheshire East throughout March.
Businesses and organisations that are involved in adult services - which can range from mobility and care services to leisure, health and wellbeing opportunities - are being invited to exhibit at the shows.
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.
Prices for exhibitors start at £50, with discounts available for multiple event bookings. There is no charge for registered charities to exhibit. For more information, contact unlockingthefuture@cheshireeast.gov.uk or call 0300 123 5500.
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 services.
“We want there to be as much on offer as possible, so I urge local businesses and organisations that are involved in adult services to get involved.”
