SPACE FOR CARE
THE BUILDING
THE AMOUNT £1.5m
At Mary’s charity, our impactful programs, counselling, mentoring, group activities, and mediations require a dedicated, private space. To meet this need, renowned architects Dow Jones have ingeniously crafted a four-room building.
This eco-friendly structure not only champions sustainability with its low carbon footprint but also significantly reduces operational costs. This space serves as a haven for young individuals, empowering us to expand our youth-centered initiatives.
It’s not just a building; it’s a nurturing environment crucial for fostering the growth of our youth and enriching our community.
