Scouts from the local Culcheth 19th Warrington Troop have teamed up with Culcheth Methodist Church and local knitting groups to produce a large and colourful Remembrance Day display.
The display is at the local Methodist church on Ellesmere Road and will enable local people to reflect and consider the fallen in wars gone by and those affected by conflict around the world.
It can be seen in the windows of the Methodist church and also spills out onto the lawn under the main window display. This display has been a team effort from the local community with the scouts, aged 10 – 14, taking time and effort to create the amazing display in the Church window.
Our scouts decided to create their display as part of their community commitment and understanding of the impact conflicts have on people, past and present. They have been busy cutting out hundreds of paper poppies and using the knitted ones generously supplied to the Troop by local knitting groups.
Residents of Culcheth can easily visit the display, which is just off Lodge Drive, at the Methodist Church in Ellesmere Road. Please come along and your respects and add their own poppy or cross it they wish.
Scout Leader Dave Sanderson said: “We are delighted the Methodist Church actively encouraged us to create the display and also the fantastic display created following so much help from our young scout members. I am really proud of them and what they have achieved. This display shows the commitment of our young residents to the village and we really hope you enjoy their hard work.”
“Come along and have a look at the display and pause to “Remember them because they gave everything”
