Fred Pendlebury Trust is a Warrington based charity which provides small grants in the way of goods and services to people over 50 living within Warrington Unitary Authority. The Trust is looking for a Trustee who is interested in the work of the Trust. The job is not onerous and involves attendance ay two trustee meetings a year. In addition, although grants are normally approved by the Chair and deputy Chair of trustees, there are a small number that require the approval of all Trustees. Trustees must be a member of one of the Methodist churches within the Warrington Unitary Authority. If you are interested in finding out more about the Fred Pendlebury Trust and the duties of the trustees please contact Sue Rigby (E-mail & phone number published in church paper notices or available from [email protected]).
The next 3 streets/projects in the Latchford area are York Street, Myrtle Grove and Latchford Christian Fellowship
Pray for all the activities and for all the age groups who meet at this church, and for our minister, Rev Jenny MacGregor. Prayers for guidance for MCW (Methodist Churches in Widnes) of which Farnworth is a part, as 3 churches develop and grow their work together in the community of Widnes. And a thank you prayer for the enthusiasm and the enjoyment the three churches have in working together for the Lord.
