By the end of the summer in 2017, months had passed since we had been told we couldn't use the facility all are items were stored in.
We were offered the opportunity to use the Koko community centre in Coventry, by September we had keys and got started on decorating and making the space our own!
Over 5 fabulous years, the small suite of rooms we'd been used had expanded. Each time another company moved out of the space we took over the rooms and made way for our:
Ebay room
Activities room
Community rooms, and
Our very own sensory garden!
As time passed, we'd almost taken over every space in the building.
We were packed in like sardines when all our families were in the centre - it was time (this time) for us to make a decision to move.
Having looked at all our options, we made the choice to move to Rugby...
It was the perfect central location for the families we were supporting to come together.
At this point, it was mid-2023 and we'd signed for a space in Rugby Central.
We took keys in the September.
This was move 4 of 5, almost bringing us up to present day.
And sadly, it hasn't been smooth sailing.
In our next post of the move, we'll share the final story of our move around Rugby Central.
Don't forget to give us a follow and comment below if you're to help us in any way as we move into our forever home!
