The new Ocean View Care Centre opened on the 16 April 2015. Situated on the vacant property behind the civic centre, the new centre comprises various containers where residents can go for help.
The new centre is aimed at creating a safe place where people can get the help they need for various social problems.
Funded by the mayor’s urban regeneration programme (Murp), the centre will offer a variety of services including drug counselling for outpatients, parental guidance classes, a crèche and a coffee shop.
The centre would be run by volunteers. The layout has been designed by an architect to ensure the containers are located in the best place for service delivery. The new centre will also accommodate a local school and four containers have been allocated to it.
Earlier this year Johann Kikillus established the school to assist children at risk and those who cannot afford the fees of crèches in Ocean View.
For the school, the centre would also have an Astroturf field and play equipment. In addition, a food garden is planned for the site.
At the entrance of the centre will be a coffee shop. Weddepohl said they hoped this would become a place where residents needing help could come and find assistance in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. Read more…
