The Restoration Centre is the social action arm of Whitley Community Church and seeks to be a source of community. It is a place where people come to be helped but can also volunteer and be a help to others.

If you would like to access any of the services listed on this leaflet or feel you could contribute to the needs of others (or just fancy a decent coffee and snack that doesn’t cost the earth) drop in to our Restoration Centre & coffee shop.

The Centre is open to everybody regardless of religion background or belief.

We are open on Wednesdays during term time from 11.00am till 3.00 pm and we hope this will expand to other days.
