Nantwich Museum, a local Primary school and an U9s football team have all been given a funding boost by local food producer Heler Foods.
The firm, based in Hatherton, has paid out £2,800 to three causes from its Local Community Fund.
Nantwich Museum has benefited from £1,200, another £1,000 has gone to Shavington Primary School.
And Crewe Town FC Leopard U9s have also benefited from a £600 donation.
From preserving local heritage and supporting education to enabling grassroots sport, each project will make a meaningful and lasting difference.
Nantwich Museum aims to enhance its cheese and dairy exhibition with interactive and accessible features, bringing local history to life for a wider audience.
Shavington Primary School will restore its allotment space, supporting children’s wellbeing, outdoor learning and healthy lifestyles.
And Crewe Town FC Leopards U9s will provide essential winter kits, ensuring young players can train and play safely and confidently.
The Heler Foods Community Fund supports not-for-profit organisations across Nantwich and Porthmadog, with a focus on improving mental health and wellbeing.
Grants range from £500 to over £1,500, helping projects of all sizes deliver real impact.
Applications are now open, with the next funding round closing at the end of April 2026.
Sarah Griffith, People Director at Heler Foods, said: “Community is a huge part of who we are as a business.
“These organisations are doing incredible work every day – supporting wellbeing, creating opportunities and bringing people together.
“This fund allows us to play a small part in that, backing projects that genuinely make a difference to people’s lives.
“It’s important to us that we continue to invest in the communities our colleagues are part of, and that we support initiatives that have a lasting, positive impact.”
The fund is open to charities, community groups and sports clubs delivering projects that improve quality of life and wellbeing.
A spokesperson for Nantwich Museum said: “We’re very proud of our Cheese Room, which tells the story of Cheshire cheese making through the ages and the equipment used, dating back to Victorian times with many original objects displayed.
“We are delighted to have received funding from Heler Foods which will enable us to improve the display by providing new hands-on activities with sensory opportunities, a quiet area within the exhibition, additional lighting, and producing a large-print guide to the objects, along with high-quality photos.
“We’ll even have a special cheese recipe book!”
