6. Renovation and equipment of premises was completed. Two rooms, corridors,
toilet and kitchen were renovated. Now the Centre has an equipped training
room for studying and just to spend free time and a comfortable “home-
styled’ room for regular meetings between mentors and care-leavers.
We changed water communications and made a kitchen on the first floor of
the Centre of Social Services. We changed the windows, so now it is much
warmer and comfortable to spend time there.
The sitting room was excellently refurbished. We bought furniture for kitchen
and plan to buy all the necessary things to start classes in cooking, sewing
courses, self support groups for care leavers, leisure activities
The care leavers no longer have to spend their free time on the streets, but
can sit comfortably on the sofas. They have been also actively involved in the
reconstruction works.
On the photos placed below you may see how it looked before and now it
looks completely different now.
