It would be “the first of its kind in the UK”
Turning A-listed Capelrig House in Newton Mearns into a centre for excellence to help children recover from traumatic experiences is set to cost the council an extra £780,000.
Councillors agreed to lease Capelrig House to the charity, for a minimal rent, in 2021, but progress on the project has been delayed by Covid-19 and soaring costs due to the impact of inflation on the construction industry. There will also be access to medical attention and examination. “Key to the concept is that the child only has to tell their story once and they can move into recovery as soon as possible,” a council report added.
Funding from the council would be used for roofing, external fabric, stone and window repairs and replacement. The cost has increased due to “construction inflation and the need for additional work that was identified during the detailed inspection”, the council report stated. The council’s share of the work could be completed by December this year, allowing Children 1st to then complete a refit of the building. It is estimated the charity’s costs will be between £1m and £1.2m.
