A Birthday Thank You from COGNEWS

As Cheadle COG nears its first anniversary, we want to express our gratitude for your support over the past year.

You've helped us achieve remarkable outcomes for our members and the broader community, including establishing a news and information hub that attracts over 15,000 visitors who stay on the platform for more than 5 minutes. We provide a calm social space without advertisements or uncontrolled links, promoting visitors' mental health and digital well-being.

We've published 8 glossy monthly prints, with many more on the way, and average over 20 articles each week. Trusted partners can now search our entire platform and download articles in an easy-to-read professional format for those who aren't digitally inclined, directly as the news unfolds.

Alongside our writing team, we regularly receive contributions from more than 60 local and national organizations, covering 45 searchable topics such as Community, Planet, Business, Sport, Arts and Leisure, and of course, Local Life.

Cheadle COG is more than just a news space; it connects organizations and individuals, fostering better collaborations and promoting events and activities.

One of our greatest joys is the support we've been able to provide to organizations and residents in need. We are thrilled to assist with the disability facilities grant process, Cheadle's New Social Supermarket, our local Scouting Movement, and particularly residents who are socially isolated or vulnerable.

We have big plans for the coming year, including creating dynamic spaces for businesses and tourism organizations to connect, contributing to the improvement of our local economy, providing more support for community projects, and expanding our reach.

If you'd like to help us achieve our goals for South Moorlands, please continue sharing our work, sending in your stories, and if you have a couple of hours a month to spare, we would love for you to join us on this incredible journey!
