Community & Charity Links
West Kirby United Reformed Church enjoy building partnerships in the local community and we're active members of the Churches Together in West Kirby group. We also build partnerships with Christian charities, small and large, near and far, in a variety of ways. Here's a flavour of what we've been up to recently.

We're delighted to partner with Reach Counselling and to have a professional counsellor available by appointment at West Kirby URC. Find out more about Reach here.
We're grateful to our neighbours at West Kirby School for giving us use of their carpark for our 10.30am service on a Sunday, and we host some of their students on work experience at our Toddler Group. We enjoy taking services to Riversdale Care Home, and we also maintain flower planters on the platform at West Kirby railway station for the enjoyment of the local community. We were delighted when West Kirby won a Best Kept Station award! |

Charity Links:
The church has a collection bin for Wirral Foodbank and collects shoeboxes for the Teams4U appeal each Christmas. We enjoy annual events including a quiz night for Tearfund and Toddler group days supporting relevant charities such as Children in Need.
Charities the church members have voted to partner with and support in the past few years include:
Africa Inland Mission works in partnership with the African church with the goal of seeing ‘Christ-centred churches among all African peoples.’
Forum Housing have continued to be driven by Christian principles, determination and focus for over 50 years to provide safe, quality accommodation, along with first class support services to the most vulnerable members of our society.
4Points is a great way to start talking about Jesus with anyone who doesn't yet know Him. It's simple, easy to use and we're glad to support sharing this resource wider.
Leprosy Mission is a global Christian organisation leading the fight against leprosy.
Open Doors serves persecuted Christians around the world by providing vital support, delivering resources, and providing training.
Tearfund is a Christian charity passionate about ending poverty, and West Kirby URC particularly support a project in Malawi, 'Farming God's Way'.
