Our History - Timeline

Our history spans decades and we are proud of our heritage which began in Wigan as Queen’s Hall Methodist Mission.

From the beginning, the Mission sought to fulfil the needs of the Wigan people, in practical, social, and spiritual ways. On Christmas Day breakfast was given to hundreds of bare-foot youngsters. The church started clothing collections for the poor, and soup kitchens. Throughout the Depression the needy were provided for, refugees were helped, and support given to young men enlisting for the war.
