Proposed new Dormitory for girls

Return to November news

Further development plans: The tanz team are busy converting the old dining room and kitchen (two rooms) into temporary sleeping accommodation for the girls. Once this is completed our ten girls will move out of the main dormitory black and the boys will then use the whole of the block - 4 large bedrooms (instead of just the two at the moment). This will enable us to accept more boys but not many more girls as their temporary accommodation will probably only cater for about 16 at the most (8 girls per room). We do however have a sketch plan of a new dormitory we would like to build for girls. This could be achieved in two or possibly three stages. the first stage would be a building for 10 beds with a central unit with 6 toilets, 5 showers and 6 washbasins. The two wings could be added at a later date (East and West wings). We expect the cost for stage one (10 bed unit with toilets, washbasins and showers) to cost about £12,000 and the two extra wings (each with a further 10 beds) to cost about £3,000 each. As yet we have no funds for this project.
