Chronically Supported CIC

17/03/2026

🎉 We’re proud to announce that Chronically Supported CIC is now a Full Member of Voluntary Sector North West!

Becoming a full member of Voluntary Sector North West connects us with a powerful regional network of voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations working to strengthen communities across the North West. Through this membership, we join a collective voice that collaborates, shares knowledge and helps shape the future of the sector.

VSNW works to bring organisations together, amplify the voices of community groups, and ensure the voluntary sector can influence regional decision-making and policy. Being part of this network opens up opportunities for collaboration, learning, and stronger partnerships that ultimately help us support more people living with chronic illness and disability.

We’re excited about what this means for our organisation and the community we serve, and we look forward to working alongside others across the region to create positive change. 💙

💗 This Valentine’s Day, let’s redefine what love looks like.

Love can be cancelling plans without guilt.
Love can be taking your meds on time.
Love can be going to bed early.
Love can be saying “no” to protect your energy.

For those living with chronic illness, rest is not laziness - it’s survival. 🌙✨

Today, we’re celebrating the most important relationship you’ll ever have: the one with yourself. Be gentle. Pace yourself. Recharge without apology.

You deserve care. You deserve compassion. You deserve rest. 💞

💕🌿
