Unique Kidz and Co is celebrating getting the go ahead to transform its current childcare space and building in Morecombe.
The charity, which provides support for disabled children and adults, is excited to see its centre on Woodhill Lane, extended and its field, adjacent to Acre Moss Lane, landscaped.
The plans, developed by HPA Architects, include outside space being transformed to fit seamlessly into the environment, and incorporate an accessible play area, cycle track, sensory gardens, growing garden, and two specialist lodges.
The Unique Kidz building would be extended, and its internal layout reformed, to allow increased capacity and new spaces, such as sensory rooms, therapy suites and an accessible kitchen.
The charity, which has just celebrated its 15th anniversary, currently has 187 disabled young people on its register, with numbers continuing to increase and its services at capacity.
Jane Halpin, co-founder and trustee of Unique Kidz said: “Following years of hard work and determination by us and our partners at HPA Architects and Landscape Architect Laurel Truscott, we are over the moon that we have finally been given planning permission for this project. We are so excited about the potential of this project, and how genuinely lifechanging it could be for the disabled young people and families that currently use our centre and for those that currently cannot access our services to lack of space.”
