Pairsh Social Projects
We currently have around 53 volunteers, but to truly make an impact, we need to double or even triple that number. With 8,000 Catholics in Ellesmere Port and Hooton, there’s incredible potential for more people to get involved!
This isn’t just about having enough volunteers to run these projects—it’s about ensuring that no one feels overburdened. We want volunteering to be an experience you enjoy and look forward to, rather than a stressful commitment.
If you’d like to help, please get in touch at parishoffice@rcchep.co.uk or call 0151 355 5877.
