The Grand Opening!
On the 16th April 2011 the opening took place of the new Emily Jordan Foundation building. This was a great day - so much hard work has gone into the past three years to get to this point. It was good to see so many people there who had worked so hard to get to this point. They could see what their efforts had achieved. The young people were there to show them around and explain to all of the visitors goes on every day at the unit. There are some pictures below to show what a great day it was:
