VALE ROYAL INTRODUCTION 2 This document details Youth arts activity and organisations in West Cheshire and Chester is presented in this document on a district-by-district basis. This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

    The Frodsham & District Association was founded in 1989 to help promote and support the work of the National Trust and to increase members’ enjoyment of the Trust by organising social activities. Our 100 members come from the Frodsham, Helsby, Northwich, Runcorn, Winsford and Warrington areas. The programme, of talks and outings take place throughout the year. The highlights of our 29th Year in 2018 included visiting Lancaster Priory Church, Castle & City Museum, Shugborough Estate, St Asaph Cathedral, Bodrhyddan Hall & Sudbury Hall and talks on Calendrical Curiosities, The History of the Longbow & The Woodland Trust. Funds raised are mostly donated to specific projects at Trust properties in the region.
