Christine's Story

Christine's Story

I attend the Colombo coffee morning every week and by doing that regularly, I’ve been invited to other events run by Coin Street such as the young at heart boat trip, young at heart Christmas party and family days throughout the year.  

I have lots of fond memories of Coin Street. One year, if we wanted a smoothie, we had to work for it by getting on a bike and peddling to rotate the blender. It was great fun and gave me some much-needed exercise.  

Talking of exercise, when I had a knee replacement in 2021, Stuart at Colombo gym was so helpful in showing me what exercises to do to aid my recovery. All the staff and volunteers at Coin Street and Colombo are brilliant, they make you feel so welcome and I hope to keep attending for many years to come.
