During September 2025, a new 3-room modular building was installed and opened within the Learning Hub area. The building is fully furnished and tailored specifically for children and young people with special needs and is used for educational activities during term time.

The polytunnel has been upgraded this year with connection to utilities including heating and air conditioning and is now in full use for horticultural activities. All Learning Hub facilities are contained within a separate secure area of the Perkisound site and are booked separately from the main Perkisound music and recreation facilities. |
