Branch History

See how far your continued support has helped us get where we are today.

The Old and the New

The Old and the New

Prior to August 1984, the building we base ourselves from was the "Heart of Oak" pub.

We purchased it from M&B brewers and today, you can still find us providing support from no.54.

Side Compare

Clifford Street Side Entrance

The changes to the branch are visible on Clifford street. Not only have we replaced the brick wall with a lovely concrete wall, but we also replaced the wooden gate with a new electronic gate, to keep our volunteers safe and secure when on shift.

Garden

The Side Entrance

We removed the small garden to give us more space out the back.

Back Door

The Back Door

And at the back of the building, we changed the window to a door and also installed a ramp for accessibility.

Ops

This is our Ops room, the place where our volunteers support all those callers who need emotional support.
