Story
Our charity enhances the lives of physically disabled adults, and currently operates out of Coalpit Heath cricket club. We provide social activities that connect people, reduce isolation, improve health and wellbeing, and give people the opportunity to develop new skills and enjoy new experiences.
We are in the process of a big project to move our service to the Shire Way Community Centre. This is a huge undertaking for our small charity involving a complete refit and refurb to bring the building up to specification to meet the needs of the adults we support.
The roof was the only part of the building that DID NOT need any work but unfortunately this is no longer the case. We are so sad to report that some one has stolen a lot of the lead and caused so much damage in the process.
The centre that we are trying to create will provide space to support physically disabled adults with a hub running daily activities and open up numerous opportunities to the local community, with plans for a community café and an allotment. We are also planning an inhouse accessible gym, music room, sensory room and much more.
The reality is, this is going to set us back and we need to carry out these repairs immediately to ensure further damage to the internal building does not happen.
