We have a building!
This Monday, Together for Change signed the lease for an empty building in Nuneaton town centre, which will now house the Saints Project.
First opened in 1898, the building has had a variety of uses over the years, with some parts remaining virtually untouched for decades. This ex-nightclub and Conservative club boasts an incredible hall and open plan cafe/bar area, and work will be started primarily on the latter, with work on the main hall expected to be completed in the second phase of the project's initiation.
With opening currently set for November, we aim to launch the first phase of the project - named 'Enterprise and Equip' - which seeks to tackle issues of unemployment and lack of education. Later phases will address physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and bringing people together through the creative arts.
We can't wait to breathe new life into this dormant historical building, and transform it into a thriving hub of community activity.
