£4m building work set to transform Naomi House

Major building work is due to begin at Naomi House Children's Hospice near Winchester.

The £4 million transformation will see children's rooms enlarged, family rooms improved, a new suite of rooms for emergencies and the building of play, music and art areas.

Romsey firm Reside Construction has been named the primary contractor to complete the building work at the site in Sutton Scotney.

The charity, which cares for children with life-limiting conditions, has launched a Caterpillar Appeal to generate the funding for the building's first renovation in its 17-year history.
