It delivers a range of local social interaction programs. Life church prioritises its care on families and individuals who are categorized as being the most vulnerable within our society. The Willow, Orford Community Project consists of a three-way agreed partnership, between Life Church Warrington Charity, Emmaus Christian church Charity, working in direct conjunction with Eden Project, The Message Trust. The grant funding will help pay for delivering a Community Hub resource centre with a free drop-in café, cultured in a safe and friendly environment, offering relevant support services from both council, private and voluntary sectors. The Willow will help and serve all, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or culture. The main impact will be to support people's wellbeing and mental health.
