Home of the Children's Clinic for Cornwall
The new front of the Clinic incorporating new disabled access, a new reception area and another practice room above. The building has now been painted by a very generous volunteer who donated his time for free. A big thank you to Jon Paul Burns for a wonderful job.
The Children's Clinic has finished it's capital expenditure on converting the building.
Phase 1 of our building efforts created two treatment rooms, a small reception room and a disabled toilet. This work was accomplished with a combination of fund raising, donations from local groups and individual donors.
Phase 2 of the building meant removing the garage doors, and completing the second half of the conversion with interior plaster, insulation, ceiling, wall divisions, staircase, heating, lighting, flooring and a new disabled entrance. This provides the charity with two further treatment rooms and a large reception room where patients and their familes can meet in a supportive and informative environment together with a kitchen.
It is only thanks to our major supporters like the Duchy Health Charity, HRH Prince Charles, the Duke of Cornwall, the Hilton in the Community Foundation, the Clare Milne Trust, the Tanner Trust, The Elmgrant Trust, Lanhydrock Golf Club, local Community grants, local Lions clubs, and all our individual donors too numerous to mention, that we have got so far so quickly.
With your support in direct donations, full price adult treatments and gift shop purchases, Phase 2 has become a reality. More treatment rooms will enable us to to treat more children and their families. At the moment there is a 7 week waiting list for new cranial osteopathic referrals which we are now addressing. Scheduling in emergency cases, new patient appointments and the increasing flow of GP and midwifery referrals was very difficult with a two room/3 practitioner Clinic, but now with four treatment rooms and 3 cranial osteopaths, three accupuncturists, including one fully trained paediatric accupuncturist (the first in the West Country), we will be able to treat more and more disadvantaged children.
Our aim is to provide complementary therapies to as many children from all walks of life as we physically and financially can, with subsidized fees suited to the individual family's income. Phase 2 has enabled us to expand on the success of the past three years and increase the number of children we can treat on the sliding scale.
In the future, our plans are to extend the charity's umbrella to cover outreach clinics wherever they are needed in Cornwall.
