The Holy Carpenter Church and Hostel has been providing social
welfare services for the people in the district, but the premises have
become dilapidated over the years,
On the recommendation of the Social Welfare Advisory Committee,
the Finance Committee has approved the capital grant from the Lotteries
Fund towards the building of the centre.
The estimated cost of the project is $1,285,000. Construction
work is expected to begin early next year, and will take about seven
months to complete.
