The day centre is situated at Chi Winder on Dudnance Lane in Pool, and is the main hub for the Coastline Homeless Service.

It is for adults aged 18 years and above, but you do not have to be homeless, so we invite you to come and have a look around and speak to us if you would like some support with your current situation.

The centre is also the main office for the majority of our staff who deal with referrals to other areas of the service and agencies.
