Works have commenced on a state-of-the-art respite centre for children with disabilities and their families in east Hull. The new Limetree Court is taking a futuristic approach with a carbon-neutral design, yet still delivering a homely and engaging atmosphere for the specialist needs of the children.

The current facility provides short breaks for families with children and young people who have multiple learning disabilities, complex health needs and associated physical and sensory special needs, by offering a short break provision and a residential provision for up to six children.

Ensuring we build a strong relationship with the client, parents and children have been involved in some of the design aspects and exploring options to accommodate different avenues of communication for the children including visual and sensory learning.
