A £2,000 Town Council grant will pay for a refurbished bathroom at Dover Emmaus based in the historic Archcliffe Fort. The Civic and Special projects Committee voted in favour of the application after receiving a presentation from Emmaus at their meeting on 14 Marraskuu.
Emmaus Dover provides a home and meaningful work for up to 26 men and women who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion. They offer a home for as long as it is needed and help residents to regain self-esteem and find a positive way to move forward with their lives. The refurbishment of the bathrooms is part of an ongoing project to improve the facilities for residents as bright, clean and well-maintained rooms send a huge message that they are respected and valued.
