Our Expansion Plans

The Childrens Clinic for Cornwall

The Market Building in Pleyber Christ Way, Lostwithiel
Home of the Children's Clinic for Cornwall

The proposed new front of the Clinic incorporating disabled access, a new reception area and another practice room above.

The Children's Clinic has finished Phase 1 of our building efforts. We have 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 will mean 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 disabled entrance. This will provide 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 and the Clinic shop. Phase 2 has full planning approval with all relevant architectural drawings, surveys and reports completed.

The target for funding the build is £75,000. The target date for completion is for October 2008.

With your continued support in direct donations, full price adult treatments and gift shop purchases, Phase 2 is becoming a reality. More treatment rooms will enable the Clinic to treat more children and their families. At the moment there is a 7 week waiting list for new cranial osteopathic referrals. Scheduling in emergency cases, new patient appointments and the increasing flow of GP and midwifery referrals has become very difficult with a two room/3 practitioner Clinic.

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 will enable us to expand on the success of the past three years and increase the number of children we can treat on the sliding scale.

Once the clinic is fully up and running and phase 2 of the building completed, we will be extending the charity's umbrella to cover outreach clinics wherever they are needed in Cornwall.
