More than 600 extra guests per year

• We will increase the capacity of our Southportbased centre from 38 to 50 guests.

• We will also refurbish all existing guest bedrooms, improve the exterior face of the building, remodel the reception and entrance to the centre and re-landscape the gardens overlooking the beautiful Marine Lake.

• All our new rooms will be generously sized for easy wheelchair use and will incorporate ‘invisible care’ features like hidden hoists and cleverly designed cupboards where personal care equipment can be discreetly stored and cleared away. These will be reachable both from the corridor and the room.

• Our expansion plans will further increase the number of people visiting Southport each year, as well as delivering additional employment and volunteering opportunities.

• Planning permission for this development was granted in August 2022 and these exciting and impactful development plans are currently scheduled to begin in late Spring 2023.

• The projected cost of this project is £4m to £4.5m subject to tender.
