Community Organisations:

Some of our friends and partner organisations in the local area:

Clayton Hall Living History Museum

​Clayton Hall has always been connected with St. Cross since its owners helped to fund the church in 1866. The Hall is now a Living History Museum and is open to visitors on the first and third Saturdays of every month. 

You can also find them on Facebook.

St. Cross is also open for visitors who would like a chance to look around on the first and third Saturdays of every month, in conjunction with our friends at Clayton Hall.  The church is usually open between 1pm and 3pm but please contact our Warden via our Contact Page to check times for specific weekends to avoid disappointment.

The Boaz Trust

From October 6th 2017 until April 27th 2018, St Cross will work with the The Boaz Trust in  running its first ever night shelter for destitute asylum seeking and refugee women.  The Boas Trust has been running a men’s night shelter for nearly 10 years now, with the help of various churches over that time. The success of the men’s Boaz Night Shelter (BNS) will be the foundation upon which the women’s BNS will be built.

The Booth Centre

The Booth Centre supports homeless people and those at risk of homelessness in the Manchester area and has been the recipient of our Harvest Food Appeal Collection for many years until we established our own Foodbank.

Local Schools

Fr Chris visits the two Primary Schools in our parish, Seymour Road Academy and Ravensbury Community School and we work with them on an ongoing basis to provide help via our Foodbank to some of the families from these schools who are most in need.
