Food Insecurity: Insights from Cheadle Foodbank
For the last 11 years, the Cheadle and District Foodbank has been assisting and supporting the residents of Cheadle and nearby areas when they need it the most. Over this period, they have distributed approximately 112 tons of food to individuals, families, and children in urgent need of assistance.
One area where people may face challenges is food insecurity. This involves concerns about depleting their food supplies without the means to replenish them.

Community News - In Brief
Should we host a Cheadle Swap Shop?
A lovely community activity popular in rural areas across Europe is a community swap shop. Essentially, if you have an item or service to swap for another item or service, you can list it. If we were to run this we would ask for a small donation (not essential) which then helps us deliver the site, train our people and bring better services to our town. What do you think, should we do it?

You can see our draft idea on the link below and if you'd like to comment you can let us know here.​

We meet every month and are making the group a force for good to improve all kinds of things for members and residents of Cheadle. There are significantly more benefits in working together than separately and we hope the group will be valuable to all our members.
