Colne Citadel is a charity operating in a small community centre in Market Place, Colne Town Centre. Our building was originally built by the Salvation Army in 1908 and later used as a citizen’s advice bureau. We are pleased that the building continues to serve the people of Colne.

We want to improve the lives of local residents by reducing social isolation in a safe caring environment, we are open to all members of the community without prejudice, and this includes those whose lives are affected by disabilities, mental illness and addiction.

Colne Citadel is a warm, friendly place where everyone is treated with respect. We provide support, encourage motivation and aim to build up trust and friendships, along with hoping to improve self-esteem and confidence in our visitors.
