Project due to start shortly
A major renovation project on Lord Street, Douglas is due to start shortly.
The Salvation Army's Citadel, which has stood since 1932, will be demolished and rebuilt in a modern style over two years.
It's estimated to cost up to £3 million, which will mainly come from within the charity's reserves.
Work will begin pending a contract agreement - planning permission was approved two months ago.
Staff and volunteers are currently in temporary residence at the old Fairfield Primary School.
Captain Simon Clampton says it comes at a time when demand is growing for the charity's services:
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
