New Build News
Here are some pictures of the site taken in June. The first is the installation of a kitchen in one of the flats in the second building. The next is the third building which was started later than the others due to the need to move some drains. Time is moving quickly and there is still much more to do. Fittings and decor has to be decided upon. There is much communication which needs to occur with staff and the people who will live there. This has to be measured and discussed at a pace which is appropriate to peoples needs. The work and effort should be worth it and the end result will be so much better for all involved.

In this section you'll be able to keep up to date with the latest news
about the building of our new premises. A good place to start is by answering the question 'Why a new build?'
As individuals matured and developed and new people came to live within the Trust it became obvious that changes had to be made to meet the predicted future needs of the residents.
After considering, but having to reject, the possibility of redesigning the interior of the Lodge the decision was taken to purchase a plot of land. We would then build a provision that would aspire to meet the residents far ranging needs and support them for many years into the future.
In 1997 we identified a plot of land in Patchway, Bristol that would be suitable for our needs. There followed many months of bureaucratic wrangling and in October 1999, with the required Planning consent in place, we purchased the land and instructed our builder to proceed.
The new development will be ready for occupation in late 2010.
