Primetime

An opportunity for ladies to get together once a month for fun, friendship and support. Topics have included cruising, quilting, online safety, finance, soap making, life as a nanny in Saudi, the RSPCA, Knitted Knockers, shoeboxes, the cafes on the beach and each other! We’ve had a go at festive foliage, card and calendar making, yoga, enjoyed food and tea tasting, meals out, a theatre trip, summer coffee and cake evenings under the stars and a ‘show and tell’ evening. Each May we have donned the gardening gloves and wielded the trowels to plant containers for outside the Church and Bier House.

We do different things each month, but whatever we do we have a good time. Our numbers vary – sometimes 10 of us, sometimes 30.

We are always happy to welcome any ladies wanting to come along for the first time. Come and join us, we’re a friendly bunch and we’d love to see you!

Refugee Support Group

We are a voluntary ecumenical group based at St. Peter’s Church collaborating with Asylum Link Merseyside. Active Asylum gathers a group of no more than thirteen asylum seekers for us to bring to Formby.

Asylum seekers are invariably strongly motivated, courageous and frequently highly qualified. With a desire to change the world for the better, many would like to return to their own country if it became possible. They come from places such as Palestine, Yemen, and Cameroon, as well as Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Often there is armed conflict or persecution in the country of origin. Such people have genuine reasons to be with us, many with harrowing personal accounts. Responses to our Welcome Days are always positive, warm, heart-felt and sometimes emotional.

We provide a hot drink and vegetarian lunch for everyone at St. Peter’s church hall, then we visit Ainsdale beach for games and swimming, weather permitting. We return to the hall for afternoon tea, and St. Peter’s Mother’s Union donate a bag of toiletries to each person before their return to Liverpool. If the weather is too inclement for the beach, we spend the afternoon playing table top games, such as bagatelle and ‘four in a row’, which always prove popular. 

We collect and distribute good quality clothing (particularly men’s) donated by Formby people. Asylum Link has a bicycle repair workshop and so we also deliver unwanted bicycles to be recycled and brought into new use. 

We welcome donations and time, particularly from a driver able to handle a minibus. peterspaine@gmail.com
