Harbourside House
On the harbourside we will create a neighbourhood resource centre to support everyone in our neighbourhood affected by illness, dying and death. A friendly place where people can find a listening ear, a practical guide, inspiring information and time out from the fray. There will be an opportunity to access special equipment, get advice, a moment of peace – or indeed whatever we can provide to ease the situation.
There will also be the ”Above and Beyond “ gallery & shop, selling artworks and other bespoke items specially designed to enrich and inspire the final chapter of life.
For those who do not want to or cannot die at home we will provide home-from-home accommodation. Here people nearing death can share and enjoy the wonderful natural life of the harbour, simply by gazing on it from the pillow.
So within this safe haven people can end their lives, surrounded by family, neighbours and friends, comforted by their own dog or cat if they so wish, and close their eyes for the last time, after looking out over the panorama of the sea.
In the lead up to those final days, some may wish to stay for a short break to have special time on their own, to be assisted to 'get their affairs in order' or for a supported, relaxing break with their loved ones.
The Journey Home can make it happen.
We are currently working to get permission and funding for a temporary base at the harbour from which to plan the building work. In the meantime we can help people in their own homes.
