The Peedie Retreat [SCIO]

About

The Peedie Retreat Charity aims to build and operate a fully bespoke accommodation to be used for short stays for residents of Orkney facing the challenges of Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis or Motor Neurone Disease. This haven is for the person affected, their family and carers to have time to rest recuperate and we hope, time to find a little happiness and leave feeling rejuvenated and a little stronger. The Retreat's central location will be ideal for friends support networks and professional and third sector support service to enhance the quality of peoples lives. We operate a fundraising team and actively carry out community fundraising which is further enhanced by the recent opening of a charity shop which is securing revenue funding to secure future operations of the Retreat for years to come. We are striving toward the construction phase with contracted builders and professional services and are working with design team and surveyors finalising plans and building warrants.
