Mimi is down there at the moment. She'd been helping them set up the tents. These are the guys and gals from the Hope Centre in Ossy. Looks like they are having lots of fun. There's nail art painting going on too.

Yes it is, it used to be a church but i think they're trying to distance themselves from that at the moment.

They still are a Church. They just split away from the Hope centre because of the bad publicity regarding the project rehousing ex-cons.

Off thread (as usual), I went down this afternoon ... noticed they had some pseudo-gates at the Union Sreet end of Broadway ... stainless steel with acorns designed in the middle .. have never noticed before, are they new ? Very smart and the flowers were lovely. Forgot me camera, darn it ..

It's a name change, not a split. I was just pointing out that they appear to be really downplaying the church element of it at the moment.

In a way it's neither a name change nor a split from what I have been told. It didn't have anything to split from as it was totally independant. It's more of an amalgamation with a similar body of the same name in Yorkshire. The chappie who ran the Hope Centre church has pootled off elsewhere to start a new church so in that way it may well be considered a kind of a split. I have no idea what the new one he has is called or where it is located though as the person Mimi asked didn't seem to know that. What was the Hope Centre is now this Global thingamajig and incorporates all the aspects of the Yorkshire one. It still has the Friday youth club (but smaller apparently) and church there on Sundays.

It was sold to GlobalYorks. It was sold under the condition that Brian (the former owner) could continue to do some of the work that he was doing in an office within the building. The new owners changed the name to GlobalLancs to tie in with GlobalYorks. Apparently within about four weeks Brian then moved out (whether he was pushed or decided to move out I don't know).
