Wirral charity, Autism Together, has revealed details of its continuing plans for the development and restoration of a range of buildings and sites in historic Bromborough Pool Village.
Last year, following the gifting of three Grade-II listed buildings to Autism Together, the charity asked the Wirral community about their use of the village and what changes and improvements they would like to see, going forward.
Having taken the results of the public consultation meetings and questionnaires into account, AutismTogether has drawn up a five-year plan for improvements that either the organisation or the public would like to see in the village.
Angie Kemp, Autism Together’s Director of Business Development, said: “Following a community consultation in 2023, Autism Together appointed heritage-approved architects Paddock Johnson to design a master plan for the new buildings and land.
“This masterplan shows the exciting future potential of the area, which will benefit Autism Together’s day services operating from these buildings, and also the wider village and community as a whole.”
Plans for theEnterprise Centre include repairs to its exterior stonework, followed by a sympathetic reconfiguring of the building’s layout to provide a beneficial environment for the people the charity supports.
This will encompass a sensory pod, improved kitchen and welfare facilities, plus an accessible all-weather courtyard area with glazed roof. The refurbishment plans include a multi-functional space for use by up to 50 people, which would be available to book ⁘ free of charge ⁘ by community groups for events at evenings and weekends, therefore, increasing public access and use of these historic buildings.
Chris Cullen, Autism Together’s Director of Estates ⁘ Facilities, said: “This development work will not detract from the external façade, from a heritage point of view, instead enhancing it by removing a linked section which is not in keeping with the building’s overall aesthetic.

As a correspondent:
I’m thrilled to share the latest developments on the much-anticipated renovation plans for TheEnterprise Centre. This historic building, located in Bromborough Pool Village, is set to undergo a remarkable transformation to create a more conducive environment for individuals supported by Autism Together.
According to TheBusinessDesk. com, the centre will feature a sensory pod, improved kitchen and welfare facilities, and an accessible courtyard area with a glazed roof. These upgrades will undoubtedly provide a safer and more comfortable space for individuals with autism, allowing them to thrive and reach their full potential.
In an interview withAutism Together, “the organization’s spokesperson noted.”.. “We’re incredibly excited about the prospect of having a space that truly meets the needs of our members. This renovation will enable us to provide more comprehensive support and services to the community.” In addition to providing a state-of-the-art facility, the refurbished centre will also feature a multi-functional space that can accommodate up to 50 people.
This space will be available for community groups to book free of charge for events at evenings and weekends. As reported by North West, this initiative is part of a broader effort to promote community engagement and social inclusion in the region. As the renovation project gets underway… I’m impressed by the collaborative efforts between Autism Together and the centre’s management team.
Their commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive space is truly commendable. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this project’s progress and look forward to reporting on its completion.
