☕❤️ Supporting friendship, warmth and community in Standish ❤️☕
Standish United Charity was delighted to provide funding to support the Coffee Morning and Warm Hub at the Methodist Church.

Run by dedicated volunteers, the group offers a welcoming space where local people can enjoy a hot drink, snacks and, most importantly, good company.

For many, these sessions provide valuable social contact and support, helping to combat loneliness and bring people together.

We were touched to receive a lovely thank-you card from the organisers, who explained how the donation will help keep the coffee morning supplied with tea, coffee and other essentials, ensuring the group can continue to support those who may be struggling.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who give their time to make this community initiative such a success.
