Construction has started on a new £6 million multi-purpose short-break care centre in Scunthorpe.
The facility, for North Lincolnshire Council and backed by the Department for Education, is designed to support local young people who have complex disabilities, and their families, by offering access to opportunities and bespoke support.
Hull-based Hobson and Porter is delivering the project on the site of a former community wellbeing hub in Alvingham Road, which was demolished earlier this year. The single storey building will include multiple sensory rooms, dining and lounge areas, staff bedrooms, 13 specialist accessible residential bedrooms for children with complex needs, accessible kitchens and bathrooms, a medical room, administrative spaces and family rooms. The centre will also feature gardens and outdoor spaces for staff, residents and their families. Work is due to complete in spring 2023.
