CHESHIRE College - South & West has announced a new partnership with Belong, a pioneering not-for-profit organisation redefining dementia care, to help enhance education and career opportunities in the health and social care sector.

Belong has been at the forefront of innovative dementia care, integrating services, housing and community within their award-winning Belong villages.

‘The partnership journey began in 2024 with an initial visit to Belong Chester Village, where discussions focused on exploring collaboration opportunities.

This was followed by a site visit to the college’s Crewe campus in July to further shape the partnership and identify areas for mutual development.

In August, the two organisations began refining tailored learning programmes, setting the stage for the integration of specialised training solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the health and social care sector.
