COVID-19 statement – but see the text above for an update!

Following the latest advice from the Government, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken the decision to make considerable adaptations to our services for the foreseeable future.

For now, we will not be continuing the face to face delivery of our services and our cafe and bookshop will remain closed.

It is with huge regret and sadness that we will not be able to welcome our customers and volunteers into The Hope Centre for the time being.

However, it remains our absolute commitment to help anyone who needs our support and to continue to be a positive and Christian presence within Macclesfield.

We will be providing our listening service via telephone if you are feeling lonely and need someone to talk to. Please be assured that the team answering the phone are Acorn Listening trained.

Good news is that we will be working with our partnering services within Macclesfield to develop a “Big Give” style delivery of food parcels to as wide an area as possible, We need your patience while we work to set this up.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and update with any changes.

These are challenging times for everyone, but we know that it will end, and when it does, we will be here, ready to bring our full services to the masses.

Until then, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone in our community for their positivity, passion and commitment to our Charity.

God Bless,

Emily, Emma & Trustees

The Hope Centre exists to provide a means by which the churches of Macclesfield and the surrounding area can, in a practical and unimposing manner, reach out to the people of the town with hope and compassion. We look forward to seeing you – you can find our location here.
