Churches Together in Whaley Bridge holds a luncheon club at 12 noon on the last Thursday of each month at the Uniting Church on Buxton Road in Whaley.

The aim of the club is to provide a warm nutritious two course meal and a friendly meeting place for older people who live on their own or who need a break now and then – all for just £3.50. The Club was formed in June 2008 and has proved a great success, welcoming 30+ people from all walks of life each month.

 If you or anyone you know would like to come to the club, or indeed if you would like to become a volunteer cook or helper, please ring the Uniting Church on  01663 734479  who will put you in touch with a club member. The Club has a limited capacity to arrange transport for those who could otherwise be unable to attend.

Uniting Church Youth Club

We have been running a Friday Youth Club at the Uniting Church for over twenty years. At present the club consists of two separate sessions, the Junior Club for 9-11 year olds starts at 6.45pm and runs to 8.15pm. The Senior Club for those of senior school age then takes over until 9.45pm. At present the total membership of the club is approximately 100 and is open to all children in the community. Due to the large numbers there is often a waiting list for membership.

How is the club organised?
The club is run by volunteer leaders who are members of the Uniting Church, with a rota of parents helping with the drinks and sweets counter. The leaders have all completed CRB enhanced disclosures.

What do we do at the club?
There are games including football, basketball, badminton etc. in the upstairs hall and on the ground floor computer games, dance mats, table tennis, table football, snooker etc. Above all the members have good fun and meet with their friends in a safe environment.

How do we finance the club?
Members pay a subscription of 70p per week. Sixty pence of this is used for equipment while 10p helps with the sponsoring of a child in Ethiopia through the World Vision organisation. The Uniting Church provides the heating, lighting etc.

What is expected of the members?
A set of rules is given to the members when they join which requires them to have respect for leaders. fellow members, equipment and property. A short ‘Centre Spot’, a time to reflect on issues of a Christian and moral nature, presented by our Minister or one of the leaders, runs during the evening.
