The WISH Appeal (Where Independence Starts at Home) was launched in April 2005. The initial objective of the appeal was to raise monies to develop existing accommodation into independent living flats. The money for this project was raised in full by 2006. Service users have gained many new skills from the experience of living a more independent life.
Due to the demand for services the project has continued to raise monies. This winter (2009) we will build a further bungalow within the grounds of Lincolnshire House. This accommodation will provide four further beds. There will be two beds for respite care and two beds for residential care. The respite and residential will each have it's own independent entrance so the services can be kept separate. Both facilities will have two single bedrooms with en-suites to include both a shower and a bath, there will be a kitchen and dining room in each unit. We anticipate this addition to the already excellent accommodation to be in operation by summer 2010.
Lincolnshire House continues to raise monies through the WISH Appeal, our long term strategy is to provide further residential accommodation in the local community to satisfy the increasing demand for our services.
