Crewe Hub: Supporting Families and Reducing Waste

Our Crewe Hub remains the heart of our mission, acting as the base for our School Recycle Scheme and Baby Bank. We’re thrilled to be able to provide families with high-quality, pre-loved items that help make life just a little easier.

Deputy Chief Officer

If you really want to change people’s lives, this could be the opportunity for you. Knutsford Together was founded in 2022 and has been helping local residents to access the services and benefits that help them to resolve the problems that impact their lives. We help adults including those who face loneliness, physical and mental ill health, bereavement and addiction. We run a weekly “talking cafe”, wellbeing walk and, uniquely, visit clients in their own homes to allow them to share their concerns with us.
