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! The future!
