The Welcome

The Welcome

In recent years the Alderley Edge and Knutsford Methodist Circuit 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 Knutsford.

A shop and drop-in centre running under the auspices of The Welcome Charity has now been established, now managed by Marie Fox supported by a team of lay-volunteers. The Welcome Cafe provides a wide range of community development programmes, availability of practical and counselling support, fellowship, constant coffee and cakes.
