The Cheshire Agricultural Society (CIO) local support and advice
The Cheshire Agricultural Society CIO and our team of staff understand it can be a very isolating and unsettling time for those affected by the current outbreak of COVID-19. We want to reassure anyone secluded in the countryside and rural areas that we are here to assist and offer informed guidance where necessary.
Farmers are not only here to provide food for the nation, we are also here to make sure all communities are supported.
Please see below a variety of groups, organisations, charities and individuals in the Cheshire area offering advice during this challenging time:
Dr Kieran Mullan, Conservative MP for Crewe and Nantwich has provided an information sheet highlighting health advice, local support services, and social distancing guidance.
