Our Meetings
Standish Voice committee meetings are usually held monthly, typically on the third or rarely the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7.45pm, in a private room at Alberts restaurant, on School Lane.
All people who live or work in Standish are welcome to attend. We do not hold meetings in August and December. Rarely, a Zoom meeting is called and, if this is the case, the information on this will be published here.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 15th at 7.45pm.

SAVE STANDISH SPIRE APPEAL
Standish Voice is supporting St Wilfrid’s Church in its campaign to raise funds for a renovation of its spire.
The spire, and broken clock, need £600,000-worth of repairs and while the church will provide the bulk of the cost, the community is being asked to help out by donating to the appeal.
Work has begun on the renovation, which is expected to last until October 2025.
You can still give through this crowdfunding page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/save-standish-spire
