One of our aims is to ensure that The Bluecoat building plays a key role in bringing hope and change to the community.
In 2015, the beautiful Grade II listed building was lovingly restored, marking the beginning of its’ journey as a hub for charities and voluntary groups, including Calm Coffee that offers a safe space and mental health support for anyone who needs it.
The Bluecoat regularly hosts a variety of events including training seminars, workshops and meetings for charities that are run either by our team or the other organisations in the building. You can read more about our training and events here.
