Aspinal Methodist Church is a thriving part of the local community with a range of people using our space for coffee mornings, gardening, warm space, alongside Sunday worship.

The space is an open and welcoming resource which is utilised by people of from a range of communities, including older people and young families.  Our space provides an access point to information and advice resources, especially to people who are newly settled into Manchester and for whom social connection, guidance and support is an important priority. The building is fully accessible inclusive and welcoming.

As a community organisation, the church is are rooted in our communities and know the nuances of the local area and the problems and issues people face. They recognise that where people are socially isolated, with a lack of relationships with others and little to no social support or contact there is a direct impact upon their health and wellbeing, and that there is associated risk even if people don’t feel lonely. By providing a regular and ongoing opportunity for social connection and activity, in a supportive environment, Aspinal will provide the opportunity for increased contact, stimulation, recreation and purpose.
