The Welcome Centre |
Activities | In recent years the
Alderley Edge and Knutsford Methodist Circuit, and in
particular the Knutsford Church, took the initiative to launch
'The Welcome Centre' project for the purpose of serving the
diverse needs of the Over Ward (Longridge) Estate on the
fringe of the town. A shop and drop-in centre have now been established, now managed by Mike Fisher and under the pastoral charge of Rev Richard Byass - supported by a team of lay-volunteers.
The Welcome Centre provides a wide range of community development programmes, availability of practical and counselling support, fellowship, constant coffee and cakes - also, opportunities for worship and prayer. Click (Acts 2 Verses 42-47). |

A dedicated manager, Mr Mike Fisher, runs 'The Welcome' Centre itself . Also, meet Julie, our cook. |
The Over Ward Project is run by a Management Committee,
with Lay Chair, representatives of the Methodist Circuit, local
Church and ecumenical representatives and members of the
Local Community.
The shop-front premises provide an outlet for
all kinds of community activities, plus refreshments, between Monday and Thursday, 10.00am to 3.00pm.
