Frodsham Drop-in Support Group

This is open to everyone with an interest in dementia, especially carers and those they care for.

We meet every 2nd Tuesday in the month between 10.30am – 12 noon at Main Street Community Church, Frodsham.

If you would like to come along or find out more information please contact Annette or Lesley at Vale Royal Alzheimer’s Society 01606 351112 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We look forward to meeting you.

We are a community based charity encouraging local people to share their time and skills with older members of the community.

We organise social groups in Kingsley and the surrounding areas, as well as fundraising days and a Pilates class. Membership is free as are all services - people benefit from the companionship and knowing there is a contact for them to talk to.

We also have a lending library which helps housebound people - books are delivered to and collected from there home.

Kings Church Chester Road (nr Helsby High School) 10am each Sunday: Worship service Everyone welcome - activities for all age groups of children.

Dads on Duty

9.30 - 11.30am on 1st & 3rd Saturdays of each month DOD is a play group for Dads/Grandads/Uncles etc and their pre-school aged children.

The idea for the group came out of a conversation between a few guys who thought that whilst there is a big selection of Mums & Toddler type groups in Frodsham & Helsby, why not have one just for the blokes? And that's what we have done.

So, if like us, your Saturday morning lie-ins are well and truly a thing of the past, then why not come and join us? Don't worry, we won't make you sing nursery rhymes or make animal noises! It's more just having a bacon butty, coffee and a chat with someone else who like you used to get much more sleep! (The children seem to enjoy it too!).

We also organize the odd social event just for Dads! For any further information contact Andy Pearson on 01928 732585 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Are you interested in walking the hidden paths of Cheshire?

There are many footpaths off the beaten track waiting to be discovered!

Our Society aims to keep the footpaths in the Cheshire countryside open and accessible, and to help look after and protect the Public Rights of Way.

We have printed many local walks booklets, among them the Delamere Way, Longster Trail and Baker Way. We have also created a new long distance path , the North Cheshire Way, which runs from Lyme Park to Chester, passing through Frodsham and Helsby, signed NCW on local fingerposts. We have published a guide book with the route and points of local interest to accompany the NCW.

All of these publications are for sale in Helsby and Frodsham Post Offices, and at Castle Park Arts Centre.

Regular walks are organised in Cheshire, and a friendly welcome awaits you.

Why not join us for a walk and meet us?
