Ainsdale: Thursdays 1pm – 3pm

We don’t think anyone in our community should face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of food banks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

IMPACT YOUTH

Impact Youth is a community youth project we help to facilitate in the Ainsdale area. Engagement of young people with church through traditional Sunday services and fellowship groups is very sparse (<5%). However, the Churches Together in Ainsdale have seen this as a creative opportunity. They partner together to provide something alternative, which aims to take the ethos and success of our secondary school, Safe Spaces and shine this same light into the local community through a wonderful church partnership.

As with our lunchtime sessions in secondary school, we aim to create a safe space for the young people attending Impact to explore the big issues of life and faith.

Currently meeting in the cafe/lounge and sports hall at Ainsdale Methodist Church, we transform the space once a week into a youth venue with big screens, games consoles, lights, music, chill-out space and a variety of sports.

As with lunchtimes, we provide an opportunity for young people to rate their mental health and wellbeing with our traffic light system as they arrive.

GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE

The Garden of Remembrance at Ainsdale was dedicated at Easter 1999. The purpose of the Garden is to provide a focal point in Ainsdale for the ashes of loved ones to be scattered *  The Garden is set in a quiet and peaceful location and provides opportunity to lay flowers and visit at appropriate times.
