About this cause

Our church is the hub in Standish for our community. We have uniform groups, scouts, brownies, aerobic groups, Tai Cha groups. Dog Training school and Age uk. We hire our halls for Birthday party's etc.We hold coffee morning each week which are open to anyone. We have a Messy church which is very popular and we can get between 40 to 70 mainly children who spend 2hrs doing crafts and having a meal at the end. We are in the process of setting up a garden area at the rear of our church changing an old railway line into a nature area by planting some vegetables, flowers, trees and a play area for all our groups. We intend to invite our local schools to set up nature study times by setting up bug houses etc.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The area will improve the centre of Standish with the use of the garden for everyone and will improve a disused area for many years. It is already getting good response as we are working in the garden. It will be good for wild life and the appearance of the area. We intend to invite our local schools to use the area for nature study.
