Who are we?
The Vine Community Hub has been set up by Salford Elim Church. We are a small team of local volunteers who care about the people of our area.
Where are we?
You can find us at 87-89 Cholmondeley Rd, Salford M6 8PU.

We offer a range of holistic support and activities aimed at reducing isolation, improving well-being, and building community such as:
Regular Activities

Services
Community Counselling Service
Led by a fully qualified counsellor who is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), we offer free counselling sessions; either face-to-face, via Zoom or by telephone. We are experienced in dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, anger, work-related stress, abuse and relationship issues. To make an appointment, pop in or fill out our online form.
Helping Hands
Do you need some practical help but don’t have the money to pay a professional trades person for labour costs? Maybe your garden needs clearing, you need something fixing or moving but haven’t got the physical ability to do it?
We are not experts but we will give most things a go! As a small team of volunteers, we can’t promise to be able to help but if we can, we will (you just pay for any material costs).To discuss your practical needs, pop in for a chat or email thevine@salfordelimchurch.org
