The Shropshire Together Community & Family Directory
The Shropshire Together Community & Family Directory is an online database containing up-to-date information on a vast range of community groups, clubs, societies and organisations, which are based in, or serve, the local communities around Shropshire and its borders.
Launched on 1st April 2025, this comprehensive online platform brings together the Family Information Directory, Community Directory, and Qube Shropshire Local Directory into a single, user-friendly resource.
The Directory is managed by Shropshire Council, and includes information on:
- art, drama, and music,
- benefits, disability information, grants, charities
- community transport, community venues,
- environment, history and heritage
- fund-raising and aid
- health and care information, self-help groups
- hobbies and leisure activities
- home care providers, day centres
- parish and community news, parish magazines, community newsletters
- sport and fitness activities, walks and Walking for Health, sports clubs and organisations, leisure centres
- volunteering opportunities
The Directory is well used by our colleagues within various departments of Shropshire Council. It is also utilised by Community Care Co-ordinators within GP practices, and by other health and care professionals.
It is possible to search the Directory using a keyword or phrase, plus a town or postcode in order to find the nearest services to where a user lives or works. From the results of the search, users can access a variety of information about the groups, including contact details and links to the organisation’s website or social media. Users can also add groups they may be interested in to their “shortlist” and then either print or email the information as required.
Please have a look at the Directory and bookmark it as a ‘favourite’ for quick and easy reference, or pop into your local library for assistance.
You can choose to look at the whole Directory, Ellesmere Specific Entries or even add in your own organisation or group if it is not there. It only takes a few minutes and is easy to do, but make sure you put Ellesmere in your title so that it comes up in the local search.
