Handbridge Centre

Opened in 2018, this community facility serves businesses, not for profit organisations, and charities, as well as groups with formal connections to the parish church.

Faith - Hope - Compassion

Sometimes it is difficult the find that inner peace that we all long for. If we open our minds, our souls and our hearts to the infinite possibilities that lie before us, we can, through embracing the power of faith, hope and compassion, open the seemingly locked door to that inner peace. Here at St Mary Without The Walls, you will find a community that, whilst not having all the answers, can help and support you on your journey towards finding the peace of God within you. We strive to live by faith, hold fast to hope and show compassion to one another.
