About Us
	The Way Inn began in 1988 with a group of people drawn from several different Christian denominations within Berkhamsted who could see a need for a meeting place for both teenagers and adults. The original plan was for a Restaurant/Coffee Shop in leased premises with a salaried manager, and the remaining staff being volunteers. The Way Inn Christian Centre Trust was registered as a charity, and formed with trustees drawn from the local Christian community to implement these objectives. They eventually acquired a freehold property on the High Street, together with the Post Office franchise for Berkhamsted, which would provide the financial stability for the project. The Way Inn was opened in September 1990 trading through the Limited company, Way Inn (Berkhamsted) Ltd., operating a Post Office and Stationery/Book Shop. Within a year it was seen that there was a need for a referral service of trained counsellors in addition to the 'listening ear' provided by regular staff members. The trustees therefore established a group of Christians with a wide variety of training and experience, working under the supervision of a qualified supervisor. In 1996 an extension was built providing public access at the rear of the building and additional shop space. More recently the rear of the building has been opened up to provide a larger and brighter space with tables and a coffee machine. Upstairs has been refurbished to provide a community meeting place for rental.
