Livewire Youth Project will soon begin construction on an improved entrance of its Saltash waterfront building, allowing less-abled people better ease of access to its facilities.
“The rationale for this new ramp is both accessibility and safety”, says Andy Rance, Youth Work Coordinator at Livewire, “we don’t want young people walking into the road to enter or leave the building. It’s going to be a great new improvement to our facilities!”
Funding has been provided from The Clothworker’s Foundation, whose £15,000 contribution will grant equal opportunity for young people in the area to enjoy Livewire’s musical and mental health services. Building work will be carried out by Steve Hoskin Construction Ltd.
“Steve Hoskin Construction Ltd is pleased to support Livewire Youth Project, an organisation that provides a safe, fun, and supportive environment where young people can express themselves through music and access vital mental health support,” says Charlotte Worden, spokesperson for Steve Hoskin. “The construction of the new ramp will further enhance the building’s accessibility and safety, ensuring that all members of the community — particularly those with limited mobility — can benefit from the services Livewire offers. We are proud to contribute to making this inclusive and inspiring space even more welcoming.”
Construction of the ramp will begin on Saltash waterfront on the 18th August and will last around two weeks.
