Life at CEFC

Planning includes community registration, venue arrangements, food sharing, entertainment, raffle prizes, children's activities and support from sponsors and volunteers.

Community events of this scale are only possible through many months of planning and the generosity of people who give their time, skills and support.

Taking part in wider community activities helps strengthen friendships, visibility and understanding across Cheshire East.

We were there to support another community bringing people together through culture, music and celebration. Events like Cheshire Afrofest are a wonderful reminder of the diversity we share here in Crewe and the importance of communities supporting one another.

While enjoying the festival, we also had the opportunity to meet local people and spread the word about our upcoming Cheshire East Barrio Fiesta 2026, handing out flyers and inviting everyone to join us at Queens Park on 25 July.

For CEFC, being part of the wider community is just as important as celebrating our own Filipino heritage. Supporting each other’s events helps build friendships, strengthen connections and create a more welcoming and inclusive Cheshire East.

Maraming salamat to the Cheshire Afrofest organisers and everyone who stopped to speak with us. We were proud to support your celebration and share a little of the Filipino community with you too. 🇵🇭🤝🌍

Informal gatherings are an important part of CEFC life: they help us listen, share ideas and keep community plans rooted in the people we serve.

Hosted by the Mayor of Crewe in partnership with Churches Together at The Haven on North Street, the event brought people from many different backgrounds together to meet, share stories and celebrate the diversity that makes Crewe such a vibrant community.

CEFC was proud to represent our Filipino community and to bring Filipino food to share, giving other members of the community an opportunity to discover some of our flavours while we enjoyed food and traditions shared by other cultures too.

Food has a wonderful way of bringing people together. Sitting around a table, trying something new and talking to people we may not have met before can turn strangers into friends.

For CEFC, evenings like this are an important part of what being a community organisation means. We are proud of our Filipino heritage, and equally proud to be part of the wider and wonderfully diverse community here in Crewe.

Maraming salamat to the Mayor of Crewe, Churches Together and everyone involved in creating such a warm and welcoming evening. 🇵🇭🇬🇧❤️

Hosted by the Mayor of Crewe, Cllr Dawn Clark, the service brought people together for an afternoon of reflection, community and friendship. With the theme “The Good Samaritan”, the service included hymns, prayers, readings and performances from local groups.

For Cheshire East Filipino Community, receiving invitations to occasions such as this is important. It gives us an opportunity not only to represent our Filipino community, but also to build relationships and take an active part in the wider civic and community life of Crewe.

We were proud to be there representing CEFC and the Filipino community we serve. 🇵🇭🇬🇧

Maraming salamat to the Mayor of Crewe and everyone involved for inviting and welcoming CEFC.
