Week 1 - Weekly report from your PCSO

Weekly Report – Week 1

VIP Tour – The Joshua Tree HQ, Sandiway
I was honoured to be invited for a VIP tour of The Joshua Tree headquarters following the incredible DIY SOS Children in Need rebuild. Before, this was already a special place, but now the transformation is outstanding. A huge well done to everyone involved in creating such a vital space for families affected by childhood cancers.
Tune in to BBC One on Thursday 13th November from 21:00 to 22:00 to see the full rebuild featured on DIY SOS Children in Need.

Mini Police Interviews – Weaverham Primary Academy
This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing candidates for our Mini Police programme at Weaverham Primary Academy School. Each child demonstrated fantastic communication skills and growing confidence throughout the process. The next stage will be the Mini Police Attestation Evening, where children will be officially welcomed into their new roles in front of their families — a proud moment for all involved.

Cuddington Primary School Firework Display
SC Cowen and I attended the Cuddington Primary School fireworks event and enjoyed engaging with parents and carers. Thank you to the Cuddington PTA for the invitation and for organising such a brilliant evening for the community.

Cheshire Search and Rescue Talk – Weaverham Sea Scout Hall
I attended a talk organised by Weaverham Trust, delivered by Cheshire Search and Rescue Charity. It was an insightful session highlighting the dedication and commitment of volunteers who provide vital support during emergencies.

Joint Home Visit – Cuddington
This week, I joined the Cuddington Neighbourhood Housing Officer for a joint home visit, followed by a catch-up at Sandiway Library. We discussed community concerns and updates, reinforcing strong partnership working to support residents.

Highway Safety – Parking Concerns
As autumn leaves fall, I reminded parents about the importance of keeping yellow lines clear for safety. I also spoke with parents regarding large stones placed on the highway to prevent parking. I have emailed CWAC Highways for support on this matter.

Youth Engagement – Cuddington Youth Club
I attended Cuddington Youth Club and engaged with local youths on various topics, including why PCSOs cannot arrest but do have powers to detain. It was a positive evening with great questions and conversations.

Community Event – Blakemere Fireworks
I attended the Blakemere fireworks event, which featured live music, a DJ and saxophone performance, funfair rides, and a Pop Hunters ‘Huntarix’ tribute band. It was a fantastic evening with a great atmosphere and strong community turnout.

Remembrance Day Service – Cuddington
I attended the Remembrance Day service in Cuddington, where Special Constable Cowen laid the wreath on behalf of Cheshire Constabulary. Thank you to everyone involved in organising and attending this important occasion.

Remembrance Day Service – Weaverham
I also attended the Remembrance Day march in Weaverham in company with Special Constable Chapman, who laid the wreath on behalf of Cheshire Constabulary. It was an honour to represent the force and pay tribute to those who served.
