A local care provider in Macclesfield has won a Coronation party pack thanks to the Co-op and Macclesfield Nub News

Next Step Domiciliary Care, which supports 26 adults that live across three sites in Macclesfield, supports those with physical and learning disabilities. 

The family-run business applied to win a free Coronation party pack to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles the III.

They were one of two winners of this Macclesfield Nub News and Co-op Macclesfield competition.

House Manager Marie Alcraft explained how they will use the prize. 

"All three of our supported living sites are involved. 

"We have chosen to have an afternoon tea [to mark the Coronation]. There will be lots of bakes that have been homemade, everything from trifles to sandwiches, and cake stands have been brought to us by family members of the company. 

"All houses have also made more decorations."

"I really like the bunting the Co-op have given us. It will make Saturday really special. We are thankful to the Co-op and Macclesfield Nub News."

The Party Pack also contains things like recipes, mini-flags, celebratory chalk to draw on the streets, and Co-op vouchers. 

"Next Step Domicillary Care was set up 30 years ago by Tania Kannenberg and her mum," Marie also said.

"It is family-run. Tania's children are involved in management."

"Our role is to support our clients to be as independent as they possibly can, to get them to enjoy life and be involved in the community.

"They love to be included in lots of activities that happen in Macclesfield."

As well as their houses in Ivymeade or Hurdsfield, Next Step also has a site on Windmill Street in Macclesfield, where people get involved in activities to further enrich their lives.
