Click here for the Carrs Lane Counselling Centre website.
The Church Centre originally included 12 flats built to house student married couples from overseas, which, although important at the time, were no longer needed for this purpose. There were also extensive back offices for the ground floor bookshop, some of which became redundant.
Now a number of independent organisations, with an emphasis on serving the community, are based in the former flats and offices, and elsewhere in the Centre. Here are details of some of our tenants, who wished to be included on our website.
