Marlowe move to new head office
Friday, 17th June 2011
Marlowe Child & Family Services have moved their head office from the building adjacent to the school at Hartpury. The new offices based at The Hawthorns in Staunton are part of a farm conversion offering office and light industrial business premises. It has the advantage of being close to all of Marlowe Homes and School, as well as offering spacious and comfortable accommodation.
The decision to move office has been promoted by the recent success of Marlowe School. With increased number of day pupils now attending, space had become a premium. Therefore, by vacating the office suite adjacent to the school it will allow the development of much needed additional classroom, meeting and office space.
In addition to new office space, Marlowe Child & Family Services have also taken the opportunity to obtain new staff training suite. This has allowed the existing building based at Sunbeam Gardens to be used …Read on
New Home - The Hollies
Monday, 28th February 2011
Following on from the success of Safe Steps in both Gloucestershire and West Wales, Marlowe Child & family Services and Pathway Care are planning a third centre, this time in South East Wales.
The property, which will provide the residential element of the programme, has already been acquired. Called ‘The Hollies’, it is located in the village of Gilfach Goch, between Pontypridd and Maesteg, just 10 minutes from Junction 35 of the M4 motorway.
The opening is planned for early autumn of 2011. It is our intention to be able to provide the Safe Steps programme close to home for children and young people from Cardiff, Newport and the South Wales valleys, and well as those who came from further afield.
The now well developed model of providing a programme of care that helps challenging children and young people make a successful transition from residential …Read on
Improvements for 2011
Tuesday, 08th February 2011
Marlowe Child & Family Services began in 2011 by commencing an investment plan in several of their homes, adding space and facilities for children, young people and staff.
At Oaklands near Haverfordwest a programme of replacing all windows has added to the appearance of the home, as well as significantly the insulation. Similarly, the old glazed conservatory has been replaced by a brand new, bigger conservatory. Registered Manager Jenny Berrigan intends to use the facility to engage in creative work. There has also been a brand new bathroom and WC fitted, which has particularly pleased the young people living at Oaklands.
The Haven in Gloucestershire has also had a brand new conservatory built. The extra space has allowed registered manager Tanya Colella to provide and improve facilities for the resident’s recreation, as well as positive changes to the therapy space. The young people themselves have been actively involved in deciding …Read on
