parish plan [see right] as well as a third strand to develop our
community facilities [see below].
In Autumn 2011 the PCC started to look again at its mission

the process of being created. It will supersede this
development plan and details will appear here during 2012.

St Agnes’ is a grade 2 listed church, which is situated in a neighbourhood with the
highest Muslim population in Manchester. The church building comprises of a
worship space and a community hall with basic kitchen facilities. The community
hall was set up in 1987 with funding from Manchester City Council and was run as
a separate activity with its own management committee until 2007. After the
agreement with MCC came to an end it is now run by a parish committee, which
invites members of the local community to be part of it.
The church building together with the rectory and its surrounding green provides
a small but remarkable green urban ensemble and the only green open space in
the neighbourhood.

consultation events since summer 2007 to discuss how to work in partnership with
the local community, how to address local needs and how to make its facilities
available for community activities. It was decided to focus on two main community
activities:
