Refurb of 15-bed unit (360G-landaid-20181920)

£74,879

The work involves several areas of refurbishment to a 15 unit supported accommodation service for 16-25 year old homeless young people. We aim to support the young people in a safe, secure, warm and homely environment. These are essential elements to the young person being able to address their issues, to grow and prepare for independent living, a key service goal, achieved via a comprehensive support and development programme. The building had a large amount of breeze block walls left after the initial renovation work was done. This was because there was only limited funding available to undertake works post acquisition. Over the last three years, we have had an ongoing campaign to plaster and cover all the breeze block walls. We would now like to do the same in the young people's personal bathrooms and replace the bathroom suites which are over 20 years old and deteriorating.
