Across the West Durham Methodist Circuit, our churches support local communities through a wide range of wellbeing activities, support groups and welcoming community spaces.

Many of our churches host regular cafés, coffee mornings, walking groups, exercise sessions, warm welcome spaces and outreach projects designed to bring people together, reduce isolation and encourage wellbeing.

Our churches aim to provide places where people can find friendship, support, encouragement and a sense of belonging within their local community.

Activities across the circuit include:

• Community cafés and coffee mornings
• Walking and wellbeing groups
• Tai Chi and seated exercise sessions
• Warm welcome spaces
• Support and fellowship groups
• Community allotments
• Outreach and food support projects
• Creative and social activities
• Community events and local partnerships

Whether you are looking to meet new people, join an activity, volunteer, or simply enjoy a friendly conversation over a cup of tea or coffee, you are warmly welcome.
