Refreshment UK hasn't added a story.
STAGE 1 – The Completion of the Refresh Centre in Blackpool
We took on the Refresh Centre as our mission training centre in April 2016. Since then, we have been able to host missionaries from across the world and begun to undertake a major refurbishment delivered by local tradespeople and partners.
Building work is to be completed by July, then from August, we are welcoming in teams of missionaries and students from across the world and will be hosting people right through to March 2018. By April 2018, we plan to be able to host a long-term missionary training programme in Blackpool with local partners.
STAGE 2 – The Opening of Revelation in Blackpool Town Centre
In the centre of Blackpool, we have been able to secure premises for three years to run a drop-in charity hub. Alongside local Christian organisations, we will be running weekly activities including one-to-one counselling, community groups and drop-in services for people in the town centre.
Loneliness continues to be a problem in the area and people are looking to be part of a community.
STAGE 3 – The Opening of the Refresh Retail Outlet
Before the end of 2017, we aim to acquire and open a retail outlet in the town centre. This place will provide a stock of essential items at low prices and a small cafe, but primarily will be offering employment for people supported by local drop-in centres.
As a charity, we are looking to address the level of employment in the town by sourcing opportunities for people to gain vital work experience and mentoring.
STAGE 4 – The Opening of a Hotel with a supported employment programme
By April 2018, we aim to offer a range of employment opportunities in a hotel to those who have received skills training and mentoring through our partners.
Our aim is to take the largest sector in Blackpool – the tourism industry – and train people to find a range of employment in Blackpool.
ONGOING - Aside from this, we continue to employ a team of staff and work overseas in Israel, India and Italy. We also organise events, lead worship, train missionaries and publish resources.
The 'Thanks A Million' appeal is to raise £1 million for our total
budget for 2017-2018 and includes all donations received by
Refreshment UK from May 2017 to March 2018.
