Building Extension 2004A second building extension was completed in 2004. It will further improve the existing facilities i.e. additional dinning space, quiet room and entrance lobby with fully automated electric door access into the hospice.The final cost of this extension was £40,000. Just to keep you updated on the latest building work: the builders have been going great guns and are on schedule to finish by the end of next month, when our work will start with furnishing and fitting out all the new rooms. We have had a bit of a re- think as to how to make the best use of all this extra space. What was to be my office has turned out to be such a lovely size room it seems a waste to be used as an office and is now going to be a sitting room for the guests to use if they find the main lounge to be a bit too noisy. There will also be a new, larger complementary therapy room and Pat & I will be using the current one for our office. For those of you who park at the rear of the building, there is going to be a new entrance/reception area so you don't have to go through the kitchen and finally downstairs there will be a utility room to house the washing machine, freezers etc. The general office will be upstairs together with a small kitchenette and toilet.
