The Stackpole Centre

We have the 'Kestrel Bunkhouse' section of the estate which has access to bunk style rooms, a lounge/ dining area, its own kitchen, games room, private courtyard and fire pit. 

There are two 'wings' to the upstairs and rooms will be discussed with the young people and allocated in the safest and fairest ways. There is a link to download the floorplan of the Bunkhouse below so you can see it for yourself.

Food 

With this being an independence skills residential young people will be cooking all their own food with staff support. We will discuss the food and what they would like to eat in an Enabled session so that I can arrange a Tesco delivery.  To the right is an image of the kitchen facilities in the Bunkhouse.

Please ensure that you have provided any special dietary requirements in the registration form or get in contact with Tom.
