Why Refreshment?

Since Simon and Laura Cooper have announced that they will be moving from Blackpool, the team have been overwhelmed by the fondness and support we have had. It has been humbling to discover how much we have impacted Blackpool and with our building leases coming to an end, we have an exciting vision to replicate our work through mission hubs across the UK, as well as maintain a training centre that will help provide hope to many still across the UK.

Refreshment has been an influential charity in Blackpool, providing a full programme each week that changes things in the town and in individual people's lives. In the centre of Blackpool, the base where our shop and mission hub is located has seen significant commercial growth and a decline in anti-social behaviour. It comes from a dedicated team meeting there, as well as being a place of help and hope for many. In the next two years in Blackpool, thousands of students and workers are going to be on our doorstep.
