AFTER more than four years of preparation, planning and fundraising, Save the Family’s Together Village at Cotton Hall Farm, near Chester, is almost complete.
A topping-out ceremony to mark the official opening will be performed on Saturday by the Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, David Briggs. The Very Rev Professor Gordon McPhate, Dean of Chester, will perform a blessing at the family site.
A time capsule, containing family photographs and messages of support will be buried on site, to be reopened in 80 years.
Cotton Hall Farm will replicate the activities of the charity’s family village at Plas Bellin, Flintshire.
It will provide homeless families with access to temporary accommodation, adult training facilities and personal support to help them re-settle back into the community.
