HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND, June 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Visitors to Treloar's included former governors, former staff members and ex-students, as well as members of the local community. Visitors were very keen to see the good work that goes into providing education, care and therapy for young disabled people at Treloar's, as well as view the progress to the Vision Treloar's project.

Students and members of the Treloar Trust, including Chief Executive, Tony Reid, greeted the visitors.

Community Development Manager, Jon Colville, gave a welcoming speech to guests.

He said: "You have come to see Treloar's at a key time in our history. What we are achieving now we hope will be the future for Treloar's for another 100 years.

"Here you will see some of the most talented people in the country, as they go about their job every day doing some remarkable work including occupational therapy as well as speech and language therapy, among others."

A number of tour groups were then led around the Holybourne site to see lessons in action. These included domestic independence, textiles and the Treloar's Trailblazer vehicle.

After the tour programme concluded, those who wished to take part in an external tour of the new buildings were led around the works.

Treloar's Jon Colville praised the speed of the large-scale building work, adding: "We are now only weeks away from becoming a centre of excellence, and the work that has gone on to create this is incredible."

"It is nice to see so many of our neighbours in Holybourne have joined us to witness what is taking place in the community."

The movement is partially the result of society's changing views of a father's role in child rearing. Currently, most fathers seek at least some form of joint custody over ...
