Arch Publications Charity Partner 2026 www.mycwa.org.uk | info@mycwa.org.uk Welcome to the June edition of the magazine. Somehow, we already fnd ourselves halfway through 2026. Time seems to move in strange ways as life goes on, the days can feel long, yet the months pass almost without notice. Perhaps that’s why the quieter moments begin to feel increasingly important. As I write this, I’m hoping warmer weather is fnally settling in. Although, knowing the British summertime, there’s every chance the sunshine arrived sometime between me writing these words and the magazine landing through your letterbox. Still, on the warmer days we’ve had so far, I’ve been making the most of them with my little dog, Bella. She’s still young, full of curiosity and energy, and walking her around the lanes, felds, and green spaces surrounding Sandbach has become one of life’s simplest pleasures. Watching her spring through the long grass, nose to the ground following every new scent, completely fascinated by birds overhead and rustling hedgerows, has reminded me how easy it is to overlook the beauty around us when life becomes too busy. There’s something deeply calming about a spring evening in Cheshire. The sun hanging low in the sky, warm light stretching across the felds, the distant hum of tractors in the countryside, and that unmistakable smell of freshly cut grass drifting through the air. In moments like that, everything seems to slow down just enough for us to appreciate where we are and what we often take for granted. I’ve lived in cities and loved them for diferent reasons, the atmosphere of Liverpool, the constant movement of Manchester, but there’s something about Sandbach that feels diferent. It has a sense of balance. A town full of character and history, yet surrounded by countryside that ofers space to breathe and refect. There’s a strong sense of community here too, something that quietly reveals itself in everyday conversations, familiar faces, and people looking out for one another. Perhaps that’s the real value of places like Sandbach. In a world that constantly pushes us to rush forward, they remind us every now and then to slow down, reconnect with what matters, and simply enjoy the moment we’re in.

After more than 25 years serving homeowners across the region, AHM Installations has entered a new chapter with a change of name to Living Well Bathrooms. While the branding may be new, the company behind it remains very much the same — a long-established family-run business built on reputation, workmanship, and customer trust. Since frst launching in 1999, the business has developed a strong local following, becoming known for its practical approach to bathroom design and installation. Over the years, however, the team noticed a shift in how people viewed their bathrooms. Once considered purely functional rooms, they are now increasingly seen as spaces connected to comfort, wellbeing, and independence. The new name refects that changing perspective. Today, many homeowners are looking beyond style alone and considering how their bathroom can better support daily life, particularly as needs change over time. For some, that may mean A Fresh Chapter as AHM Installations Becomes Living Well Bathrooms by Katy O’Regan replacing a traditional bath with a low-level shower to make movement easier and safer. Features such as slip-resistant trays, discreet grab rails, and optional seating are becoming more common, not only for accessibility reasons but because they can ofer reassurance without compromising on appearance. Others continue to favour baths, particularly walk-in options designed with comfort and ease of use in mind. Wet rooms are also growing in popularity, ofering level access, practical layouts, and a more open feel that suits both contemporary design and long-term usability. The company says one of the biggest challenges many customers face is simply knowing where to begin. Bathrooms are signifcant investments, and with so many options available, the process can feel overwhelming. Living Well Bathrooms continues to focus heavily on home consultations, where surveyors visit customers to discuss how the space is currently used, what difculties they may be facing, and what improvements could make everyday life easier. Alongside layout and accessibility, practical considerations such as storage, lighting, ventilation, and water efciency have also become increasingly important. Small changes in design can often have a surprisingly positive impact on how a home functions day to day. What has remained consistent throughout the company’s evolution is its emphasis on personal service. The team remains committed to the same values that helped establish AHM Installations more than two decades ago — careful workmanship, honest advice, and bathrooms designed around the individual rather than short-lived trends. While the name above the door may have changed, the philosophy behind the business appears largely unchanged: creating spaces that are practical, comfortable, and built to support people in living well at home for years to come.

After more than 25 years serving homeowners across the region, AHM Installations has entered a new chapter with a change of name to Living Well Bathrooms. While the branding may be new, the company behind it remains very much the same — a long-established family-run business built on reputation, workmanship, and customer trust. Since frst launching in 1999, the business has developed a strong local following, becoming known for its practical approach to bathroom design and installation. Over the years, however, the team noticed a shift in how people viewed their bathrooms. Once considered purely functional rooms, they are now increasingly seen as spaces connected to comfort, wellbeing, and independence. The new name refects that changing perspective. Today, many homeowners are looking beyond style alone and considering how their bathroom can better support daily life, particularly as needs change over time. For some, that may mean A Fresh Chapter as AHM Installations Becomes Living Well Bathrooms by Katy O’Regan replacing a traditional bath with a low-level shower to make movement easier and safer. Features such as slip-resistant trays, discreet grab rails, and optional seating are becoming more common, not only for accessibility reasons but because they can ofer reassurance without compromising on appearance. Others continue to favour baths, particularly walk-in options designed with comfort and ease of use in mind. Wet rooms are also growing in popularity, ofering level access, practical layouts, and a more open feel that suits both contemporary design and long-term usability. The company says one of the biggest challenges many customers face is simply knowing where to begin. Bathrooms are signifcant investments, and with so many options available, the process can feel overwhelming. Living Well Bathrooms continues to focus heavily on home consultations, where surveyors visit customers to discuss how the space is currently used, what difculties they may be facing, and what improvements could make everyday life easier. Alongside layout and accessibility, practical considerations such as storage, lighting, ventilation, and water efciency have also become increasingly important. Small changes in design can often have a surprisingly positive impact on how a home functions day to day. What has remained consistent throughout the company’s evolution is its emphasis on personal service. The team remains committed to the same values that helped establish AHM Installations more than two decades ago — careful workmanship, honest advice, and bathrooms designed around the individual rather than short-lived trends. While the name above the door may have changed, the philosophy behind the business appears largely unchanged: creating spaces that are practical, comfortable, and built to support people in living well at home for years to come.

background noise, is frequently the frst thing to decline. This can make social settings tiring and, over time, lead people to withdraw without fully realising why. We often hear patients say, “I can hear, but I can’t understand.” That distinction is crucial. The impact extends beyond communication. Research increasingly highlights links between untreated hearing loss and social isolation, reduced cognitive stimulation, and overall wellbeing. When listening becomes efortful, the brain works harder to fll in the gaps, leaving less capacity for memory and processing. Over time, this listening fatigue can afect how people engage with daily life. The good news is that hearing care has evolved signifcantly. Today’s approaches are not just about devices, they’re about personalised rehabilitation. At The Studio Goostrey, we take time to understand your lifestyle, listening environments, and priorities. From comprehensive assessments to tailored technology and ongoing support, the focus is on restoring ease, not just audibility. Modern hearing technology is discreet, highly adaptable, and designed to work seamlessly in complex environments. But just as important as the technology is the guidance that comes with it, helping people relearn how to listen, rebuild confdence in conversations, and reconnect with the world around them. Perhaps the most important message is this: hearing changes are often gradual, and early action makes a meaningful diference. Addressing hearing concerns sooner can help maintain strong communication habits and prevent the cascade of efects that can follow prolonged strain. Connection is at the heart of what it means to be human. Protecting and supporting hearing is, ultimately, about protecting those connections, at home, at work, and in the community. If you’ve noticed changes in how you hear, or if conversations are becoming more efortful, it may be time to take a closer look. To help maintain and improve connections in our community we are ofering a complimentary hearing health assessment at The Studio Goostrey. This may be the frst step back to clearer, more confdent communication. Because hearing well isn’t just about sound, it’s about staying connected. The Opposite of Addiction is Connection I have recently become interested in understanding why, within my lifetime (since 1977), the number of people experiencing mental health problems appears to have increased year on year. There are, of course, widely accepted explanations for this trend. Improved recording and reporting in general practice has led to more cases being Both of these articles explore a simple but important idea: human connection matters deeply to our wellbeing. Connection is about far more than conversation, it is about listening, supporting one another, and feeling part of a community. Whether through mental health and addiction, or through hearing and communication, both pieces highlight how isolation can damage wellbeing, while strong relationships and meaningful support can help people feel healthier, more confdent, and more connected to the world around them. The Sound of Connection: Why Hearing Matters More Than You Think In a world that moves quickly and speaks constantly, hearing is often taken for granted, until it begins to change. At The Studio Goostrey, we see every day how deeply hearing is tied not just to sound, but to connection, confdence, and quality of life. Hearing is fundamentally social. It underpins our ability to engage in conversation, share experiences, and feel part of the world around us. Whether it’s the laughter across a dinner table, a child’s voice calling from another room, or the subtle cues in a colleague’s tone, these moments form the fabric of our relationships. When hearing becomes strained, those connections can begin to fray. Many people associate hearing loss with volume, simply needing things to be louder. In reality, it’s often more complex. The Social Collective Exploring the relationships that shape local living. captured, and increased awareness, alongside reduced stigma, means more people are willing to recognise symptoms, talk openly, and seek support. These factors undoubtedly play a role. However, they do not fully explain the scale or consistency of the increase, and I wanted to explore whether there are deeper underlying causes. This question matters because of the close relationship between mental health and addiction. Poor mental health is one of the strongest drivers of substance misuse. If we can better understand why mental health is deteriorating, we can begin to understand why more people turn to self-medication and develop problematic relationships with drugs and alcohol. The urgency of this issue is clear. The UK recorded the highest number of drug-related deaths in Europe in 2024, the most recent data available. The question we must ask is: why? One theme that has emerged repeatedly in my research is the loss of human connection. Increasingly, evidence suggests that declining social bonds, within families, communities, and wider society, play a signifcant role in worsening mental health outcomes. While this may feel like a modern issue, it is not new. History shows us similar patterns, where periods of social disruption and weakened connections have coincided with rising levels of distress and substance use. The Gin Craze of the 18th century is a clear example. At the time, gin consumption rose dramatically, particularly among the poorest in society. This was not simply about individual choice or excess. Gin provided an escape for people living in poverty, instability, and extremely harsh conditions. Communities were fragile, mortality rates were high, and many lacked any real sense of security or support. In this context, alcohol became a coping mechanism. Yet policymakers at the time did not frame the issue in these terms. Instead, excessive drinking was presented as a moral failure. Language in legislation referred to the “meanest and lowest sort,” placing responsibility on individuals rather than recognising the social conditions driving behaviour. Women who drank were labelled with terms such as “Mother’s Ruin,” reinforcing blame and stigma. The response focused on restriction and control, limiting supply, enforcing licensing laws, and attempting to curb behaviour, without addressing the underlying causes of distress and disconnection. This pattern, where structural and social problems are reframed as individual failings, repeats itself throughout history. A more modern and striking example comes from the Vietnam War. During the confict, drug use among American soldiers became widespread. Studies estimated that around 15–20% of U.S. servicemen in Vietnam were regularly using heroin. These were not individuals who had grown up as dependent users. Many had stable lives, families, and jobs before deployment. However, in Vietnam they were placed in an environment defned by trauma, fear, and profound disconnection, from their homes, their communities, and any sense of normal identity. At the time, the U.S. government feared a major public health crisis. There was a widespread expectation that thousands of soldiers would return home addicted, leading to an epidemic of heroin use across the country. Given the scale of use during the war, this concern seemed justifed. But this is not what happened. Follow-up studies found that the vast majority of soldiers who had used heroin in Vietnam stopped using soon after returning home. Only a small minority continued dependent use. This was not primarily due to medical intervention or enforcement. The key diference was the environment. Soldiers returned to families, communities, work, and a sense of purpose. They reconnected with people and structures that gave their lives meaning. This example challenges a deeply ingrained assumption about addiction. It suggests that substance use is not driven solely by the chemical properties of drugs or individual weakness, but by context. In Vietnam, drugs provided an escape from trauma and isolation. Back home, where connection and stability were restored, that need largely disappeared. Other countries have begun to recognise this relationship between connection and addiction, and have shaped their policies accordingly. Portugal is one of the clearest examples. In 2001, Portugal decriminalised the personal possession and use of drugs, while keeping trafcking illegal. Instead of sending individuals into the criminal justice system, those found with small amounts are referred to “Dissuasion Commissions” made up of social workers, legal advisers and medical professionals. These panels assess each person’s circumstances and connect them with

background noise, is frequently the frst thing to decline. This can make social settings tiring and, over time, lead people to withdraw without fully realising why. We often hear patients say, “I can hear, but I can’t understand.” That distinction is crucial. The impact extends beyond communication. Research increasingly highlights links between untreated hearing loss and social isolation, reduced cognitive stimulation, and overall wellbeing. When listening becomes efortful, the brain works harder to fll in the gaps, leaving less capacity for memory and processing. Over time, this listening fatigue can afect how people engage with daily life. The good news is that hearing care has evolved signifcantly. Today’s approaches are not just about devices, they’re about personalised rehabilitation. At The Studio Goostrey, we take time to understand your lifestyle, listening environments, and priorities. From comprehensive assessments to tailored technology and ongoing support, the focus is on restoring ease, not just audibility. Modern hearing technology is discreet, highly adaptable, and designed to work seamlessly in complex environments. But just as important as the technology is the guidance that comes with it, helping people relearn how to listen, rebuild confdence in conversations, and reconnect with the world around them. Perhaps the most important message is this: hearing changes are often gradual, and early action makes a meaningful diference. Addressing hearing concerns sooner can help maintain strong communication habits and prevent the cascade of efects that can follow prolonged strain. Connection is at the heart of what it means to be human. Protecting and supporting hearing is, ultimately, about protecting those connections, at home, at work, and in the community. If you’ve noticed changes in how you hear, or if conversations are becoming more efortful, it may be time to take a closer look. To help maintain and improve connections in our community we are ofering a complimentary hearing health assessment at The Studio Goostrey. This may be the frst step back to clearer, more confdent communication. Because hearing well isn’t just about sound, it’s about staying connected. The Opposite of Addiction is Connection I have recently become interested in understanding why, within my lifetime (since 1977), the number of people experiencing mental health problems appears to have increased year on year. There are, of course, widely accepted explanations for this trend. Improved recording and reporting in general practice has led to more cases being Both of these articles explore a simple but important idea: human connection matters deeply to our wellbeing. Connection is about far more than conversation, it is about listening, supporting one another, and feeling part of a community. Whether through mental health and addiction, or through hearing and communication, both pieces highlight how isolation can damage wellbeing, while strong relationships and meaningful support can help people feel healthier, more confdent, and more connected to the world around them. The Sound of Connection: Why Hearing Matters More Than You Think In a world that moves quickly and speaks constantly, hearing is often taken for granted, until it begins to change. At The Studio Goostrey, we see every day how deeply hearing is tied not just to sound, but to connection, confdence, and quality of life. Hearing is fundamentally social. It underpins our ability to engage in conversation, share experiences, and feel part of the world around us. Whether it’s the laughter across a dinner table, a child’s voice calling from another room, or the subtle cues in a colleague’s tone, these moments form the fabric of our relationships. When hearing becomes strained, those connections can begin to fray. Many people associate hearing loss with volume, simply needing things to be louder. In reality, it’s often more complex. The Social Collective Exploring the relationships that shape local living. captured, and increased awareness, alongside reduced stigma, means more people are willing to recognise symptoms, talk openly, and seek support. These factors undoubtedly play a role. However, they do not fully explain the scale or consistency of the increase, and I wanted to explore whether there are deeper underlying causes. This question matters because of the close relationship between mental health and addiction. Poor mental health is one of the strongest drivers of substance misuse. If we can better understand why mental health is deteriorating, we can begin to understand why more people turn to self-medication and develop problematic relationships with drugs and alcohol. The urgency of this issue is clear. The UK recorded the highest number of drug-related deaths in Europe in 2024, the most recent data available. The question we must ask is: why? One theme that has emerged repeatedly in my research is the loss of human connection. Increasingly, evidence suggests that declining social bonds, within families, communities, and wider society, play a signifcant role in worsening mental health outcomes. While this may feel like a modern issue, it is not new. History shows us similar patterns, where periods of social disruption and weakened connections have coincided with rising levels of distress and substance use. The Gin Craze of the 18th century is a clear example. At the time, gin consumption rose dramatically, particularly among the poorest in society. This was not simply about individual choice or excess. Gin provided an escape for people living in poverty, instability, and extremely harsh conditions. Communities were fragile, mortality rates were high, and many lacked any real sense of security or support. In this context, alcohol became a coping mechanism. Yet policymakers at the time did not frame the issue in these terms. Instead, excessive drinking was presented as a moral failure. Language in legislation referred to the “meanest and lowest sort,” placing responsibility on individuals rather than recognising the social conditions driving behaviour. Women who drank were labelled with terms such as “Mother’s Ruin,” reinforcing blame and stigma. The response focused on restriction and control, limiting supply, enforcing licensing laws, and attempting to curb behaviour, without addressing the underlying causes of distress and disconnection. This pattern, where structural and social problems are reframed as individual failings, repeats itself throughout history. A more modern and striking example comes from the Vietnam War. During the confict, drug use among American soldiers became widespread. Studies estimated that around 15–20% of U.S. servicemen in Vietnam were regularly using heroin. These were not individuals who had grown up as dependent users. Many had stable lives, families, and jobs before deployment. However, in Vietnam they were placed in an environment defned by trauma, fear, and profound disconnection, from their homes, their communities, and any sense of normal identity. At the time, the U.S. government feared a major public health crisis. There was a widespread expectation that thousands of soldiers would return home addicted, leading to an epidemic of heroin use across the country. Given the scale of use during the war, this concern seemed justifed. But this is not what happened. Follow-up studies found that the vast majority of soldiers who had used heroin in Vietnam stopped using soon after returning home. Only a small minority continued dependent use. This was not primarily due to medical intervention or enforcement. The key diference was the environment. Soldiers returned to families, communities, work, and a sense of purpose. They reconnected with people and structures that gave their lives meaning. This example challenges a deeply ingrained assumption about addiction. It suggests that substance use is not driven solely by the chemical properties of drugs or individual weakness, but by context. In Vietnam, drugs provided an escape from trauma and isolation. Back home, where connection and stability were restored, that need largely disappeared. Other countries have begun to recognise this relationship between connection and addiction, and have shaped their policies accordingly. Portugal is one of the clearest examples. In 2001, Portugal decriminalised the personal possession and use of drugs, while keeping trafcking illegal. Instead of sending individuals into the criminal justice system, those found with small amounts are referred to “Dissuasion Commissions” made up of social workers, legal advisers and medical professionals. These panels assess each person’s circumstances and connect them with

What is signifcant about Portugal’s approach is not simply the removal of criminal penalties, but the shift in focus. Addiction is treated as a health and social issue. The aim is not to punish behaviour, but to rebuild lives. Central to this is the idea of reconnection, helping individuals re-establish relationships, stability, and purpose. Crucially, this approach is backed by sustained public investment. Resources that might otherwise have been directed towards enforcement and incarceration are instead channelled into treatment services, harm reduction programmes, and reintegration initiatives. These include access to healthcare, psychological support, housing assistance, and vocational training. Employers are also incentivised to hire people recovering from addiction, helping them regain structure and identity through meaningful work. The outcomes over the past 20–25 years are signifcant. Drug-related deaths in Portugal have fallen and remain among the lowest in Western Europe. HIV infections linked to injecting drug use have dropped dramatically, from over 1,000 cases annually in the early 2000s to very low levels today. More people are engaging with treatment voluntarily, and far fewer are imprisoned for drug-related ofences. While challenges remain and continued investment is required, the overall direction is clear: when people are supported to reconnect, with services, with opportunity, and with society, they are far more likely to recover. Across these examples, whether in 18th- century London, wartime Vietnam, or modern-day Portugal, a consistent pattern emerges. When people experience disconnection, instability, and a loss of meaning, substance use often increases as a form of escape. When connection is restored, many move away from that dependence. This brings us back to the UK today. We are facing record levels of drug-related deaths and rising mental health challenges. Yet our response continues, in many cases, to isolate and criminalise those who are struggling. People with problematic substance use are A Final Thought One of the simplest and most valuable things we can do to strengthen connection in our lives is to be fully present with the people around us. In a world full of distractions, giving someone your time, attention, and willingness to truly listen can have a profound impact. Real connection is not built through perfect advice or constant conversation, it is built through consistency, empathy, and making people feel seen and heard. Sometimes, a genuine check-in, a shared cup of tea, or simply being there for someone can make more diference than we realise. often pushed further to the margins, through stigma, through limited access to meaningful support, and through systems that do not prioritise reintegration. The evidence, both historical and contemporary, points in a diferent direction. It suggests that connection is not a secondary factor, it is central. People need stability, purpose, relationships, and a sense of value. Without these, the conditions for addiction are far more likely to take hold. So we are left with a difcult question. How can we justify the way we treat people with problematic substance use in the UK, when evidence from both history and modern policy shows that isolation and criminalisation do not work? If anything, they deepen the very conditions that lead people to seek escape in the frst place. If we are serious about addressing addiction, we need to rethink our approach. We need to recognise the importance of human connection, not as an abstract idea, but as a practical foundation for policy. Supporting people, helping them rebuild their lives, and giving them a sense of value is not a soft option; it is an evidence- based one. At present, this is not something we do well in the UK. And the consequences are clear.

What is signifcant about Portugal’s approach is not simply the removal of criminal penalties, but the shift in focus. Addiction is treated as a health and social issue. The aim is not to punish behaviour, but to rebuild lives. Central to this is the idea of reconnection, helping individuals re-establish relationships, stability, and purpose. Crucially, this approach is backed by sustained public investment. Resources that might otherwise have been directed towards enforcement and incarceration are instead channelled into treatment services, harm reduction programmes, and reintegration initiatives. These include access to healthcare, psychological support, housing assistance, and vocational training. Employers are also incentivised to hire people recovering from addiction, helping them regain structure and identity through meaningful work. The outcomes over the past 20–25 years are signifcant. Drug-related deaths in Portugal have fallen and remain among the lowest in Western Europe. HIV infections linked to injecting drug use have dropped dramatically, from over 1,000 cases annually in the early 2000s to very low levels today. More people are engaging with treatment voluntarily, and far fewer are imprisoned for drug-related ofences. While challenges remain and continued investment is required, the overall direction is clear: when people are supported to reconnect, with services, with opportunity, and with society, they are far more likely to recover. Across these examples, whether in 18th- century London, wartime Vietnam, or modern-day Portugal, a consistent pattern emerges. When people experience disconnection, instability, and a loss of meaning, substance use often increases as a form of escape. When connection is restored, many move away from that dependence. This brings us back to the UK today. We are facing record levels of drug-related deaths and rising mental health challenges. Yet our response continues, in many cases, to isolate and criminalise those who are struggling. People with problematic substance use are A Final Thought One of the simplest and most valuable things we can do to strengthen connection in our lives is to be fully present with the people around us. In a world full of distractions, giving someone your time, attention, and willingness to truly listen can have a profound impact. Real connection is not built through perfect advice or constant conversation, it is built through consistency, empathy, and making people feel seen and heard. Sometimes, a genuine check-in, a shared cup of tea, or simply being there for someone can make more diference than we realise. often pushed further to the margins, through stigma, through limited access to meaningful support, and through systems that do not prioritise reintegration. The evidence, both historical and contemporary, points in a diferent direction. It suggests that connection is not a secondary factor, it is central. People need stability, purpose, relationships, and a sense of value. Without these, the conditions for addiction are far more likely to take hold. So we are left with a difcult question. How can we justify the way we treat people with problematic substance use in the UK, when evidence from both history and modern policy shows that isolation and criminalisation do not work? If anything, they deepen the very conditions that lead people to seek escape in the frst place. If we are serious about addressing addiction, we need to rethink our approach. We need to recognise the importance of human connection, not as an abstract idea, but as a practical foundation for policy. Supporting people, helping them rebuild their lives, and giving them a sense of value is not a soft option; it is an evidence- based one. At present, this is not something we do well in the UK. And the consequences are clear.

to help people in Sandbach that might be on their own, perhaps due to age or because they’ve recently come out of hospital. The volunteers regularly call or visit the benefciaries to fght loneliness and exclusion. The scheme is up and running now. We have a long list of benefciaries and a growing list of volunteers but we need more! If you can spare as little as 1 hour a week then please get in touch with befriending.coordinator@gmail.com. Among the most memorable events I’ve attended this year are the many Civic Services and Parades in nearby towns. I absolutely loved learning about the Northwest Air Ambulance and getting to sit in their helicopter. I enjoyed rocking out at the Sandbach Rock and Pop Festival as well as many other events at the Rugby Club who are extremely generous with their facilities in support of the town. I have also developed a deep love of the Sandbach Concert Series where top tier professionals come and play along side some of Sandbach’s own young talented musicians. The Christmas market and lights switch-on was amazing, especially being on stage while little Dymond threw the switch! Another wonderful event is the annual Tree of Light where the town gathers to remember those we’ve lost. I was especially moved when my daughter performed Annie’s Song on stage there - one of my dad’s favourite songs. But perhaps the most meaningful events for me are Sandbach Pride, Remembrance Day and the Transport Festival. Early in my mayoral year I had the privilege of leading the Pride parade and then speaking on the stage where I talked about how important Pride is - arguably more so than in previous years. On stage I talked about how many people have commented that there seem to be more LGBTQ+ people now than there used to be. But those people have always been here. They just couldn’t be their true selves in years gone by. Pride allows them to do just that and invites us as a community to see each other and respect each other. It’s deeply meaningful to me and it was a huge privilege to be involved. I hope to continue to do so in years to come. The Transport Festival is perhaps the most important event in the Sandbach calendar. Our strong connections to Fodens and ERF make this town a mecca for transport enthusiasts and every year the 2 day event is absolutely packed. The parade at the end of the event is the highlight for me and usually the Mayor rides in a Bentley at the head of the parade but after last year when it broke down there was no Bentley. So instead I was looking for another vehicle to ride on in the parade. The organizers had arranged a red double decker bus to take people on tours around town on the Sunday and for the last ride of the day the bus visited Park House Care Home and collected a group of the residents to travel on the bus for the parade. Once I heard about that plan I knew that’s where I wanted to ride and it was a great honour to be allowed to stand at the back of the bus and wave to the hundreds of people watching the parade. On May 20th my 1 year term as Mayor comes to an end and what a year this has been! Being the mayor is a truly unique experience. There’s much more to it than simply attending events wearing the chain. There are many little jobs and questions that come to the mayor such as signing of weekly payments or auditing payroll. It’s also a leadership role - chairing council meetings and attempting to point that unruly lot in the same direction so that good work can be achieved. And an awful lot has been changed for the better in Sandbach Town Council over the last year. We started the year with no clerk and missing half our staf. The previous mayor and I had already been working to bring in our new Clerk who has been absolutely outstanding. We are now back up to a full complement of council staf. Our accounts are fully up to date again - the loss of staf had meant they had fallen far behind - and our audits are once again showing that our processes are working, they are followed and they are compliant with local government rules. In the last year, Sandbach Town Council has been put back on its feet and is stronger and better run than it has been for years. I’m also immensely proud of our work to Sandbach Mayor’s Diary... by Cllr John Arnold, Sandbach Mayor Perhaps the most meaningful event of the year, though, is the Remembrance Day parade. It is deeply moving to see the huge numbers of residents that line the streets to pay their respects as the parade of forces personnel, cadets, scouts, guides and musicians march through the town to lay wreathes at the war memorial and then attend a service in remembrance of those from our town who gave their lives to protect us all. It was a huge privilege to be a part of the event and I am deeply grateful to the Royal British Legion for organizing the parade and making sure everything went according to plan. There’s a lot to look forward to in coming months as well. Now that we have our renewed and vibrant town council we have a full programme of events again for the coming year including the Party in the Park very soon where once again the world class Fodens Band will perform. We have a very exciting new event later this year as well - a Food Festival where we hope to showcase foods from many diferent cultures. There’s a lot of work about to begin on the town hall building which, for safety reasons has had to have some dangerous bits of stonework removed. The town council owns the building, having purchased it from Cheshire East Council a few years ago and as a listed building there is a lot of expensive work that has to be carried out properly. We have begun that process and we’ve budgeted a large fund ready to begin paying for the work which will take several years to complete. At the same time we’ll be reducing our energy bills and improving our carbon footprint by installing solar panels (out of sight on the back of the market hall and with the consent of the heritage ofcer). We’re also expecting a Banking Hub in the town which will provide cash paying in and withdrawal services for all the major banks. Cash services will be available every day but each day of the week there will also be someone from one of the banks on-site that can help with more complex enquiries if you have them. Since the closure of NatWest, Lloyds and Barclays we have desperately needed banking services in the town and I’m very eager to help facilitate the arrival of our new Banking Hub. Much discussion has taken place with them to try and make it happen. So that’s just a slice of the stuf that has happened in my mayoral year. The moment I stop writing I’m confdent that 5 more wonderful events will spring to mind. I have seen and done so much this year that it’s hard to contain it all. But much more importantly I have LEARNED so much. The process of meeting and talking to so many of you has been a uniquely valuable education. I hope to take that knowledge, empathy and pride in our town forward and keep working for beneft of our residents to care for them, provide opportunities for them and to entertain them. I would like to thank my fellow councillors for their support during my mayoral year and to remind everyone that town councillors are unpaid volunteers. I would especially like to thank the council staf without whom nothing we councillors decide would ever happen. They are amazingly talented and dedicated people. But most of all I’d like to thank YOU. Everywhere I’ve gone wearing the chain I have been welcomed warmly and made to feel special. Thank you. I will endeavour to repay your kindness with hard work and action. And even without the chain I would still love to hear from you. I will still be a councillor and there’s still work to do!

to help people in Sandbach that might be on their own, perhaps due to age or because they’ve recently come out of hospital. The volunteers regularly call or visit the benefciaries to fght loneliness and exclusion. The scheme is up and running now. We have a long list of benefciaries and a growing list of volunteers but we need more! If you can spare as little as 1 hour a week then please get in touch with befriending.coordinator@gmail.com. Among the most memorable events I’ve attended this year are the many Civic Services and Parades in nearby towns. I absolutely loved learning about the Northwest Air Ambulance and getting to sit in their helicopter. I enjoyed rocking out at the Sandbach Rock and Pop Festival as well as many other events at the Rugby Club who are extremely generous with their facilities in support of the town. I have also developed a deep love of the Sandbach Concert Series where top tier professionals come and play along side some of Sandbach’s own young talented musicians. The Christmas market and lights switch-on was amazing, especially being on stage while little Dymond threw the switch! Another wonderful event is the annual Tree of Light where the town gathers to remember those we’ve lost. I was especially moved when my daughter performed Annie’s Song on stage there - one of my dad’s favourite songs. But perhaps the most meaningful events for me are Sandbach Pride, Remembrance Day and the Transport Festival. Early in my mayoral year I had the privilege of leading the Pride parade and then speaking on the stage where I talked about how important Pride is - arguably more so than in previous years. On stage I talked about how many people have commented that there seem to be more LGBTQ+ people now than there used to be. But those people have always been here. They just couldn’t be their true selves in years gone by. Pride allows them to do just that and invites us as a community to see each other and respect each other. It’s deeply meaningful to me and it was a huge privilege to be involved. I hope to continue to do so in years to come. The Transport Festival is perhaps the most important event in the Sandbach calendar. Our strong connections to Fodens and ERF make this town a mecca for transport enthusiasts and every year the 2 day event is absolutely packed. The parade at the end of the event is the highlight for me and usually the Mayor rides in a Bentley at the head of the parade but after last year when it broke down there was no Bentley. So instead I was looking for another vehicle to ride on in the parade. The organizers had arranged a red double decker bus to take people on tours around town on the Sunday and for the last ride of the day the bus visited Park House Care Home and collected a group of the residents to travel on the bus for the parade. Once I heard about that plan I knew that’s where I wanted to ride and it was a great honour to be allowed to stand at the back of the bus and wave to the hundreds of people watching the parade. On May 20th my 1 year term as Mayor comes to an end and what a year this has been! Being the mayor is a truly unique experience. There’s much more to it than simply attending events wearing the chain. There are many little jobs and questions that come to the mayor such as signing of weekly payments or auditing payroll. It’s also a leadership role - chairing council meetings and attempting to point that unruly lot in the same direction so that good work can be achieved. And an awful lot has been changed for the better in Sandbach Town Council over the last year. We started the year with no clerk and missing half our staf. The previous mayor and I had already been working to bring in our new Clerk who has been absolutely outstanding. We are now back up to a full complement of council staf. Our accounts are fully up to date again - the loss of staf had meant they had fallen far behind - and our audits are once again showing that our processes are working, they are followed and they are compliant with local government rules. In the last year, Sandbach Town Council has been put back on its feet and is stronger and better run than it has been for years. I’m also immensely proud of our work to Sandbach Mayor’s Diary... by Cllr John Arnold, Sandbach Mayor Perhaps the most meaningful event of the year, though, is the Remembrance Day parade. It is deeply moving to see the huge numbers of residents that line the streets to pay their respects as the parade of forces personnel, cadets, scouts, guides and musicians march through the town to lay wreathes at the war memorial and then attend a service in remembrance of those from our town who gave their lives to protect us all. It was a huge privilege to be a part of the event and I am deeply grateful to the Royal British Legion for organizing the parade and making sure everything went according to plan. There’s a lot to look forward to in coming months as well. Now that we have our renewed and vibrant town council we have a full programme of events again for the coming year including the Party in the Park very soon where once again the world class Fodens Band will perform. We have a very exciting new event later this year as well - a Food Festival where we hope to showcase foods from many diferent cultures. There’s a lot of work about to begin on the town hall building which, for safety reasons has had to have some dangerous bits of stonework removed. The town council owns the building, having purchased it from Cheshire East Council a few years ago and as a listed building there is a lot of expensive work that has to be carried out properly. We have begun that process and we’ve budgeted a large fund ready to begin paying for the work which will take several years to complete. At the same time we’ll be reducing our energy bills and improving our carbon footprint by installing solar panels (out of sight on the back of the market hall and with the consent of the heritage ofcer). We’re also expecting a Banking Hub in the town which will provide cash paying in and withdrawal services for all the major banks. Cash services will be available every day but each day of the week there will also be someone from one of the banks on-site that can help with more complex enquiries if you have them. Since the closure of NatWest, Lloyds and Barclays we have desperately needed banking services in the town and I’m very eager to help facilitate the arrival of our new Banking Hub. Much discussion has taken place with them to try and make it happen. So that’s just a slice of the stuf that has happened in my mayoral year. The moment I stop writing I’m confdent that 5 more wonderful events will spring to mind. I have seen and done so much this year that it’s hard to contain it all. But much more importantly I have LEARNED so much. The process of meeting and talking to so many of you has been a uniquely valuable education. I hope to take that knowledge, empathy and pride in our town forward and keep working for beneft of our residents to care for them, provide opportunities for them and to entertain them. I would like to thank my fellow councillors for their support during my mayoral year and to remind everyone that town councillors are unpaid volunteers. I would especially like to thank the council staf without whom nothing we councillors decide would ever happen. They are amazingly talented and dedicated people. But most of all I’d like to thank YOU. Everywhere I’ve gone wearing the chain I have been welcomed warmly and made to feel special. Thank you. I will endeavour to repay your kindness with hard work and action. And even without the chain I would still love to hear from you. I will still be a councillor and there’s still work to do!

What started as a simple idea between two friends has grown into a vital support network for people in recovery and those seeking support across Crewe. Liz and her friend Sue run the Recovery Hub at St Andrew’s Church Hall on Bedford Street, ofering a welcoming, judgement-free space for people who have problematic relationships with substances or addictive behaviours, as well as those already in recovery. The hub frst began in 2020, but like many community projects, the Covid pandemic made it difcult to meet regularly. In April 2021, the doors ofcially opened with just fve or six people attending. Today, more than 20 people regularly use the service, which has become an important lifeline for many in the local community. “At the beginning we only opened twice a week and simply ofered tea and biscuits,” Liz explains. “Now it has become somewhere people feel safe, understood, and accepted.” What makes the hub unique is that everyone involved has lived experience of recovery. Volunteers understand the realities of the challenges people face because many have been through similar experiences themselves. Most people attending are people who have problematic relationships with substances, although the group aims to support anyone facing addictive behaviours. The focus is on connection, encouragement, and providing a sense of belonging. On Wednesdays and Fridays, the group hosts Recovery in Cheshire East (RICE) meetings from 12 noon until 1.30pm. These sessions give people the A Safe Place to Begin Recovery by Katy O’Regan opportunity to talk openly about how they are feeling or simply listen to others. Tea, cofee, biscuits, sandwiches, and breakfast baps are all provided free of charge. Over the years, the hub has expanded beyond meetings alone. A gardening group plants seasonal crops and fruit trees, while craft sessions and a participant-led music group help build confdence and friendships. Social events such as barbecues, Northern Soul days, pool tournaments, and Halloween parties also help create a strong sense of community. The group works closely with Change, Grow, Live (CGL), Cheshire East’s drug and alcohol support service, although no referral is needed to attend. Liz believes recovery begins with honesty and courage. “The frst step is recognising there’s a problem. The second, and bravest, is asking for help.” For anyone struggling, the message is simple — you are not alone, and support is available. For more information, contact Liz on 07870 565224, visit www.connextions.org.uk or simply drop in during opening hours. The hub is now open four days a week at St Andrew’s Church Hall: Mondays: 12pm – 4pm Wednesdays: 10am – 5pm Fridays: 10am – 5pm Saturdays: 10am – 12 noon

What started as a simple idea between two friends has grown into a vital support network for people in recovery and those seeking support across Crewe. Liz and her friend Sue run the Recovery Hub at St Andrew’s Church Hall on Bedford Street, ofering a welcoming, judgement-free space for people who have problematic relationships with substances or addictive behaviours, as well as those already in recovery. The hub frst began in 2020, but like many community projects, the Covid pandemic made it difcult to meet regularly. In April 2021, the doors ofcially opened with just fve or six people attending. Today, more than 20 people regularly use the service, which has become an important lifeline for many in the local community. “At the beginning we only opened twice a week and simply ofered tea and biscuits,” Liz explains. “Now it has become somewhere people feel safe, understood, and accepted.” What makes the hub unique is that everyone involved has lived experience of recovery. Volunteers understand the realities of the challenges people face because many have been through similar experiences themselves. Most people attending are people who have problematic relationships with substances, although the group aims to support anyone facing addictive behaviours. The focus is on connection, encouragement, and providing a sense of belonging. On Wednesdays and Fridays, the group hosts Recovery in Cheshire East (RICE) meetings from 12 noon until 1.30pm. These sessions give people the A Safe Place to Begin Recovery by Katy O’Regan opportunity to talk openly about how they are feeling or simply listen to others. Tea, cofee, biscuits, sandwiches, and breakfast baps are all provided free of charge. Over the years, the hub has expanded beyond meetings alone. A gardening group plants seasonal crops and fruit trees, while craft sessions and a participant-led music group help build confdence and friendships. Social events such as barbecues, Northern Soul days, pool tournaments, and Halloween parties also help create a strong sense of community. The group works closely with Change, Grow, Live (CGL), Cheshire East’s drug and alcohol support service, although no referral is needed to attend. Liz believes recovery begins with honesty and courage. “The frst step is recognising there’s a problem. The second, and bravest, is asking for help.” For anyone struggling, the message is simple — you are not alone, and support is available. For more information, contact Liz on 07870 565224, visit www.connextions.org.uk or simply drop in during opening hours. The hub is now open four days a week at St Andrew’s Church Hall: Mondays: 12pm – 4pm Wednesdays: 10am – 5pm Fridays: 10am – 5pm Saturdays: 10am – 12 noon
