Aspire Ryde

Aspire Ryde is a community hub, providing services throughout the week in a redundant church building which now buzzes with activity.

They offer free food and help to those in need, as well as running courses, events and workshops for the community to take part in.

Any profits made from projects are put straight back into services to support the local community and into maintaining the amazing building.

See their Website for more details and below are some of the articles which mention Aspire Ryde.
