Your Willaston CIC Presents
Get yourself along to Willaston Memorial Hall on Saturday December 14th, doors open at 6.30pm, for an evening of Classical Guitar playing from the internationally acclaimed KATONA TWINS!
Sponsored by White Feather Home & Gift Ltd - you'll all be familiar with their lovely shop of Neston Road, by the Nag's Head- the musical evening is also raising money for a good local cause! Proceeds of the evening will be split between Christ Church Parochial Church Council (Registered Charity no. 1210733) and Your Willaston CIC.
If you've not heard of Your Willaston CIC, it is a newly formed Community Interest Company whose membership includes local, independent businesses who aim to invest in the local community and ensure Willaston retains its village, its local business facilities and its community.
Get your tickets for this fantastic event from White Feather Home & Gift Ltd on Neston Road.
Many thanks from the PCC, and Christ Church for Your Willaston CIC's kind support for our Community Hub, opening in May 2025.
There's still time to give!
Our re-ordering project is costing half a million pounds. It will secure the position of the church as a multifunctional, flexible space that will serve the community for many, many years to come. All this, however, is not without cost and we are now fundraising to enable us to move forward into the future with additional resources that are not part of the main contract cost, such as chairs, kitchen equipment, new toys and facilities for children, etc. If you would like to be a part of this lasting legacy for the Willaston community, please make a donation to help us with these additional costs. Local businesses in particular would benefit from sponsoring some of our additional resources. Could YOUR business buy a fridge or a microwave, or toys, or chairs, or a kettle, a toaster, and in return you will be featured FREE of charge on our Website and in church. If you already support us via our Parish Magazine, this one off cost means that you get additional advertising year round through our website and SM posts. Please contact us for more information

We want Christ Church to be seen to be supporting the community and working with local groups and businesses to let them know that God is always on hand, even if He sometimes has to send Fr Lyndon on the odd occasion. We've already established strong links with Willaston C of E school, and we want to forge stronger links with the wider village community. Find out more
