OUR VISION FOR 2026 AND BEYOND

Get behind our plans to bring help and hope to the high street

We have big plans that we are currently working towards and need your support.

 

Get behind us in two ways by donating or investing to enable us to do the following three amazing projects and help bring life to the high street, as well as provide much needed services that will aim to support the needs of mental health in our communities. With the funding, we will do the following:

  • Open and refurbish our high street hub at the centre of Blackpool – the building in Blackpool can be purchased and completely renovated, to open up a commercial mental health café downstairs on the lower floor, and a resource centre upstairs providing books, classes and activities that aid mental health support. The location at the centre of the town provides a place where community can grow and aims to be a place where people will be able to find help 24-7 long term. The refurbishment includes converting the building into 1 unit, repairing the roof and installing a lift.

  • Purchase our training centre in South Shore, Blackpool – we have worked from the Refresh Centre for over a decade, providing a space for people to come from overseas and learn what it takes to be involved in the community. Our training centre has 14 bedrooms and our programme is designed to train people to work in frontline mission as well as bring in ex-offenders who will be equipped through our breaking the chains residential training course. We have already leased the building for a very long time and invested heavily in the renovation, and are looking for this investment to secure it for the future as a permanent home for our training.

  • Launch a 15-month pilot project in Hinckley – our third location is to open a mission hub at the centre of the town of Hinckley. The former Barclays Bank has become available for a short-term project, and we are negotiating the terms to buy out the lease for this building. We can begin a multi-agency work from this location that will be a great addition to the town.
