Our Mission : These represent what we do To represent the interests of, and promote membership to all the residents within Carrington.

To work towards improving the quality of life for local people and our community. To assist and promote social activities for recreation and enjoyment, and encourage a community spirit and sense of responsibility. To be non party political. To represent the majority view of the community. To take into account the views of children and young people who are not old enough to be voting member. We have a high number of elderly residents in a small community, off less than 400 and low income families. Being in a rural location, we don't have a local shop or amenities in the village and have to rely on other neighbouring villages. We feel our village has been isolated for a number of years and only recently, after creating the Association,have we begun to unite the community. This has highlighted the venerable and needy in our village and we want to help them, have the extra assistance they may need, at this festive time.Unfortunately due to financial constraints, many can not afford to indulge in simple luxuries and we feel any help you can give them, would be gratefully received. We the Association and the community, would be extremely thankful for any help you could give, with regards to ensuring these resident have a Christmas to remember. We also contribute to the sustainability of Marks and Spencer’s on reducing the land fill from waste food by making the collections and distributing the food to families to use.

Advancement of christian faith and poverty relief. we pursue these by: -running regular, educational and inspirational seminars using in-house resources as well as external faculties. -providing welfare and social support for people in need. -

We are a community response hub for the residents of Partington, Carrington and Warburton, working to ensure that every single member of our community is cared for. Whether this involves accessing healthy food, collecting prescriptions, feeding their pets, or financial support with utilities we want to make sure that no one is missed. We work to provide such services as food deliveries and donations, signposting to additional services and providing well-being checks where needed. In addition, over the coming weeks we will be opening a community shop to further support our local community, providing essential items such as healthy food and household cleaning products, at low cost to local residents. This is where we hope your support can come in as we look to continue supporting our community through weekly food parcels to those families with the greatest financial need and as we begin to stock the community shop.
