Three women talk over plants

We have gathered stories from some of the people who contribute to making our community and neighbourhood inspirational.

From budding artists in our over 50s art sessions to volunteers at our youth clubs and regular members at our coffee mornings. There are innovative chefs, enthusiastic parents, green fingered hobbyists, as well as individuals who have moved through the organisation from attending an activity, to volunteering, to working for us.

We hope these stories can give you an insight into the sessions, opportunities and activities available at Coin Street. Why not get involved yourself? See what's on offer here

If you have a story you would like to share contact Keith on k.winestein@coinstreet.org.uk
