Raising Aspirations

Funded by the National Lottery Reaching Communities fund, the programme runs until July 2026 and supports people to overcome barriers such as debt, housing issues, employability skills, and physical or mental health challenges.

Participants work one‑to‑one with a mentor to create a personalised action plan, focusing on areas like wellbeing, confidence, finances, training, employment, volunteering, and future goals. Support is tailored to each person, with meetings usually held every two weeks in community venues across Northwich, Winsford, Helsby, Frodsham and surrounding rural areas. The programme is free and open to anyone aged 18+, whether employed or unemployed.

Since launching in July 2023, the programme has supported 237 people. Feedback has been extremely positive, with one participant saying, “It has been a great help to me and has given me confidence again… I feel like I can go and achieve more now—thank you.”
