CONNECT WITH THE NCS COMMUNITY
Next Chapter Society brings together people across South Manchester & Cheshire who are looking to get out, try new things, discover great places and make the most of their next chapter.
As an NCS Partner, you can give our members a reason to discover your business.
That might be:
A member discount
An exclusive offer
A complimentary extra
A special experience
Or something completely unique to your business.
We're interested in partnerships that create genuine value for both our members and our Partners.

For example, 10% off food, treatments, classes or services.

Something available specifically to NCS members.

Create an experience, class, evening or event specifically for the NCS community.

Why Partner with NCS?
REACH THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Put your business in front of an engaged local community of people 40+ who are actively looking for places to go, things to do and businesses worth discovering.
BRING NEW CUSTOMERS THROUGH THE DOOR
Give NCS members a reason to discover your business — and hopefully become regular customers.
BE PART OF SOMETHING LOCAL
NCS isn't simply a discount directory.
We're building a local society around connection, experiences, discovery and making more of what's next.
GET DISCOVERED
Our Partners may be featured across NCS channels, member communications, social media, experiences and other Society activity as the network grows.
BUILD A RELATIONSHIP
We're interested in genuine partnerships that create value for both sides — not simply swapping logos.
PARTNERSHIP IS CURRENTLY FREE
NO PARTNERSHIP FEE
We're building the founding NCS Partner network, and there is currently no charge to become an NCS Partner.
Instead, we ask our Partners to provide a meaningful benefit, offer or experience for NCS members.
It's a simple idea:
You give our members a reason to choose you.
We help introduce them to your business.
And together, we build something valuable for the local community.
What makes a great partner?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR BUSINESSES THAT...
CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS
You provide a great experience and genuinely value the people who walk through your door.
OFFER SOMETHING SPECIAL
You have something that our members will appreciate.
FIT THE NCS COMMUNITY
Your business, service or experience aligns with the lifestyle and interests of our members.
WANT TO BUILD A RELATIONSHIP
We're looking for genuine partnerships, not simply a logo exchange.
