A £16,000 project to provide accommodation for the disabled has been launched at Portsmouth Y.M.C.A.

The scheme - a joint effort by the Y.M.C.A. and the 2nd Portsmouth Rangers - aims to provide four ground floor bedrooms, special toilets and bathrooms, access ramps, and a wider entrance. Organisers expect the facilities to be used by disabled students and homeless young people, and disabled youngsters on holiday. The bedrooms have direct access to the centre’s garden, and the building is close to the seafront and parts of Old Portsmouth.
