A special event will shine a light on 'life-changing' work.

To mark Occupational Therapy Week, Cheshire East Council will be staging a roadshow to showcase the work of its occupational therapy (OT) team.

OT helps people of all ages overcome physical, mental, or emotional challenges to live more independent and fulfilling lives.

Councillor Jill Rhodes, the council's adults and health committee chair, said: "OT is about enabling people to live life to the fullest – whether that's recovering from illness, adapting to disability, or simply staying safe and independent at home. 

"Our Cheshire East OT team make a real difference every day, and this event is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about their work and how they can support you or your loved ones."

The OT Roadshow takes over the Silk Room at Macclesfield Town Hall on Monday, November 3.

Carers and residents are encouraged to pop in from 10am to midday and meet their local occupational therapists, ask questions, and discover how OT can support people to live more independently, safely and confidently.
