Welcome to Freedom Centre
The Freedom Centre is a Community Hub on the Mereside Estate in Blackpool run by Freedom Church Mereside.
After years of being derelict the leadership team along with the local community have raised funds to renovate the former St Wilfrid’s Church Hall and give it back to the community as a place of social gathering and an access point to activities and support.





We Are Freedom Centre
The centre offers a warm welcome and a place where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee from Martha’s Kitchen whilst browsing around our Second Chance small charity shop. Our kitchen also offers a light menu of toasties, cakes and daily specials at very reasonable prices.


Blackpool Ministry Experience
The Blackpool Ministry Experience is both a challenge and a blessing. Give 10 months of your life to live and work in Blackpool, on placement at local churches, getting involved with a wide variety of ministry. Take time to pray, worship and socialise with those who are on the same journey as you. Explore your faith further and help it to grow through the MPower urban leadership programme. Talk it all through with house chaplains, mentors and vocations advisor.
