Our local branch in Sowerby Bridge can trace it's history back to it's inaugural meeting, which was held on 6th April 1910, and today over a 120 years later its still going strong.
Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 11am in the community room in church. We have a short service, listen to a speaker and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee together. Visitors are always welcome. We also have meals out, lead prayers at Halifax Minster and help in the various activies within the church.
The branch leader is Mrs Justine Helliwell, whilst the Secretary is Mrs. Angela Wilkins.
