The first view of our long awaited extension, now completed and in use. Although it only covers part of our building it gives us an additional surgery, a counselling room, admin and HR office, a self contained training/meeting area with kitchen,

wc, storage, etc. It also provides additional office space for resettlement, health care and management.

 

 

 

 Riverside House & Southwell Lodge

Thanks to a grant from The Wates Foundation we have been able to completely refurbish the clients rooms in Riverside. New flooring, fully decorated and fully furnished with bed, bedside cabinet, wardrobe, chest of drawers, lamp, pin board, curtains etc. The whole lot is colour co-ordinated, it is the first time in ten years that we have had new furniture in the rooms.

The Wates Foundation have also given us a grant to do the same at Southwell Lodge.

We are really grateful to Sainsbury's in Crawley Town Centre for deciding to donate groceries, items from their bakery and cleaning materials  to us on a weekly basis. It is so nice when people come to us and say they would like to help.

 Thanks to another wonderful donation from the William Reed Flow-through Fund at Sussex Community Foundation we have been able to take our young residents out on a real Christmas treat

We took them all up to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park where they all went ice skating, visited the circus and went around all of the rest of the amazing site. On the way home they stopped at a Harvester and all had a lovely meal. They all ended up wet (it rained all day) but very happy and very tired.
