Project info

The Archer Project supports people experiencing homelessness. The remodelling and extension address limitations of the existing building, creating a safer, more welcoming and functional environment.

The scheme reconfigures and expands the centre to deliver improved facilities, including a larger dining hall, new reception and entrance, enhanced kitchen and servery areas, medical and office spaces, and upgraded washing and toilet facilities. External works introduce a courtyard entrance, improving arrival and creating calm outdoor space.

The project will provide a welcoming, safe and homely environment, supporting the charity’s vital services in the heart of the city.
