We know that during this time of uncertainty and anxiety, many things are going to be a struggle for everyone in our communities across Wigan.

It is in times like this that we rejoice at St Mark’s that we are part of Church Wigan, where together we can do more to help. There are a number of things that Church Wigan are providing as both practical and spiritual support.

Food outlets 

Please note – both Food Outlets closed Wednesday 25th March – reopening Thursday 26th March and all times listed below.

Working closely alongside The Brick, Fur Clemt and Wigan Council, Church Wigan have two food outlets open over the coming weeks and months ahead.
