Decision details

Centre improvements at Spectrum Arts

To make disability and safety adaptions at our centre including an

accessible toilet, stair lift, ramp access for wheelchair users, new

secure fence, gates and path for access to our garden.

To provide funding of £ 500 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

We recently set up a crowdfunding page on the Kent County Council/Spacehive website to make aids and adaptations to our centre.

This will enable us to increase the number of adults we are able to support in a safe and secure place. Particularly those with high level needs, wheelchair users and those with a range of mobility issues.

The changes will open up the first floor of the building where we can offer

· IT training for work and living skills,

· appointments for advocacy and support

· a conference space for our sector

· social events for our service users

Ramps and a stair lift will enable wheelchair users and those with other mobility issues full access to all our services including a new disability bathroom with back sink and chair, shower and toilet.
