Holy Trinity is part of the Parish of The Good Shepherd in Ashton-under-Lyne, along with St Gabriel, St Michael and All Angels, St Peter and St James.
Holy Trinity Church Community Centre plays a vital role in the local community, working in partnership on a project called People Place and Presence, which aims to empower woman with a particular focus on Muslim women and those considered to be the most difficult to reach.
Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator (PSC). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSC. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSC or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor - see the contact list below.
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
