More about our impact

Activity, health and leisure

In the modern world, there are so many distractions. Phones, tablets, and gaming consoles are big distractions for adults too, not only children. That’s why a playground needs to be imaginative to grab a child’s attention and it must serve the needs of the entire family, including children in wheelchairs. Having an inclusive playground as a destination for the whole family will encourage people to get outdoors in the fresh air which has proven physical and mental health benefits.

The Congleton Partnership is a non-political community-based organisation drawing on the skills and expertise of residents and businesses, bringing together the voluntary sector and statutory bodies.

Congleton Partnership’s vision is to make Congleton a vibrant, happy, healthy, sustainable town where people want to live, visit, work, rest and play.

The Partnership is governed by an Executive Committee, the majority of which are residents but also includes representatives of statutory bodies and an administrator. The Partnership is an umbrella organisation comprising of a broad range of groups including Sustainability, Youth Forum, Projects & Finance, Congleton Creative, Senior Forum and Dementia Friends.

Since its inception in August 2008 The Partnership has had an outstanding record of project delivery (Town Signage, Cycleways & Footpaths, Youth & Schools Projects, Art Skills Workshops, Sustainable Living In Congleton course ‘SLIC’) with some of its projects (Congleton Apple Juice, Beartown Branding and Bearmania in 2011) winning national and regional awards.

We believe TEAM stands for Together Everyone Achieves More.

Currently, within Cheshire East, there is only 1 play area where you can take a wheelchair and use a piece of play equipment however you need a key to use this specific piece of play equipment.

We would like to see an all-inclusive piece of equipment within Congleton Park where both wheelchair users can jointly share with their friends and family.
