North WestOur motto is “Caring for Ainsdale” this is exactly what we do. Any monies raised from our events is used solely for the benefit of Ainsdale and its residents. Since our inception 8 Years ago, the Society has grown both in numbers and reputation. We are now one of the largest civic societies in the North West. We are proud of our achievements to date, as you can see from the list below. there have been quite a few and we hope to continue improving our village for all the residents.
The Society is non political, non religious and non profit making and is open to everyone with an interest in our village and who wish to be part of the collective voice to represent issues within our community.
We hold monthly meetings on the last Wednesday of each month at 8pm, usually at Sacred Heart Church Hall, Liverpool Road. We have a speaker with subjects wide, varied and entertaining, after a break for refreshments we discuss any Society business and matters which have arisen during the past month. Everyone is welcome to attend.
