In the Diocese of Chester we have 110 branches with about 3,000 members. We have our own personal worldwide links with six dioceses and have set up a soup kitchen project with Cape Town which receives support from the membership and provides 32 soup kitchens throughout the winter months.

We are involved in a range of different activities both within our diocese and helping with relief work abroad.

Our work:

  • Knitted Items, including knitting for Nepal and Fiddle Pinnies
  • We run a stall at the Cheshire Show

  • Away From It All holidays
  • Prison visit help at the Young Offenders Institute, Thorn Cross
  • Virtual babies to educate teenagers
  • Ouch Pouches containing a mini first aid kit donated to Bridge Foyer in Chester
