“Having toured the Seashell site, I was thoroughly inspired by the hard work, dedication and passion of the team and by the hugely impressive residential development and the ambitious plans for the future. What was most memorable of all was seeing the children and young people thriving in their new homes. Bringing the campus up to the same high standards will be a real game changer and will give the children and young people what they deserve – the ability for fulfil their potential in a safe, stimulating, purpose-built environment.”
