A NEW ‘Social Butterflies’ art exhibition is being backed by Northwich businesses.
Participating businesses across the borough are creating and displaying a butterfly to promote inclusivity at all ages.
Social Butterflies is a collaboration between Age-friendly Cheshire West, Brightlife, the council’s Culture Team, arts partner Storyhouse and organisations, groups, schools and communities across the borough.
Vinnies, Cedar House, Citizens Advice, Northwich Art Shop, Abda’s, CRS Consultants and Crafty Stitches are all taking part, with the Northwich BID set to offer a prize for the best.

BID business team co-ordinator Stephanie Leese said: “Brightlife’s main aim is to reduce social isolation and loneliness which we’re fully supportive of and we’d love as many businesses in Northwich as possible to show that the town centre is a warm and welcoming place where people can come to meet friends, make new ones and enjoy their visit no matter what time of day or night.
“Hopefully we’ll see more and more butterflies popping up around the town centre to promote the message that people of all ages are included, respected and welcomed in the Northwich community.”
