AFTER months of hard work and years of planning, the building work on the Alexandra Hospital's multi-faith centre is finally complete.
The purpose of the centre is to provide a quiet, peaceful area where people can sit and pray or just sit and think.
There will be no religious symbols and it will be an open-plan room with moveable partitions so it is possible to temporarily section off parts for private prayer.
New anti-discrimination legislation meant the hospital had to have a facility where everybody could pray or sit and contemplate.
The hospital borrowed £106,000, interest-free, from an anonymous source to build the facility and now has £6,500 of the loan outstanding.
Any groups or individuals who would like to make a donation can make cheques out to the League of Friends - Chapel Appeal and send it to the Woodrow Drive hospital marked for the attention of The Rev Barry Jones.
