SunLive - Refuge bathroom gets a makeover

Image
The bathroom at Tauranga Women 's Refuge has had a much-needed makeover, thanks to help from local tradies and the Thorne Group. Refuge manager Angela Warren -Clark says the renovation has made the safe house much warmer and more inviting for families. “The Thorne Group came on board midway through last year, when we started the conversation with Tauranga City Council about upgrading the bathroom and how that would work,” says Angela. Tauranga City Council owns the property the safe house is on, and leases it to Women's Refuge. Angela says the refuge has a separate shower room and a separate toilet room , but the bathroom is valuable for children as it has a bath in it.
