The future! 16 years ago Lifeskills was set up to cater for about 11, 000 visitors a year, and for the last 10 years it has done just that. There are 2 key issues for us to address. . . • Increasing birth-rates • More people living longer! This summer the current centre will be demolished and a new centre built – to enable 16, 000 visitors a year!
