The Junk Café still continues to expand as part of the community work done by the Birchwood centre. It is further embedding them in the local community and is an attempt to support the people of Skelmersdale with donated surplus supermarket food.
Clocktower
members continue to visit the Centre frequently during each year.We have recently agreed to sponsor their Community mental health day during World Mental Health week in May. This event has been run before but the sponsorship will allow it to improve and expand this year. This will in turn support the Mental health and wellbeing of the residents and the local community and the work now being done in the newly opened Community Mental Health centre in Ennerdale
